SEEMS LIKE…

…January and February went awfully fast. Interstate moving is “interesting.” Snowstorms, plumbing, power issues, stowaway cat, anything to keep the boredom away.

My van – still in Colorado and the trailer - not moving yet either

I am sorta mostly unpacked. Key items are missing and long lost treasures have been “found” – this is real life after all. But I have high speed wireless, so life is good. In the midst of the chaos, I hit the big double nickel and celebrated at Red Lobster with friends. And sewed. Like the old adage says, the corsets must go on. And those chosen few who put them on tell me they are glad I kept sewing through chaos.

February was a full month. I stirred up some goodies and fed them to Ritzville neighbors at our Open House while everyone fondled fabric and tried things on. In the evening I was joined by a birthday girl and her family and yummy yummy homemade cake. On Sunday we really got the camera going. Are these guys having fun or what?

Next was Magickal Winter Weekend in Portland – very soothing and I had the pleasure of meeting some very interesting new people.

Radcon! As always, hordes of people, oodles of parties, buckets of Toxic Waste, not to mention the exchanges of pieces of paper for garments and accessories. Followed by more people, more fun and more everything. There were corsets and cuteness and cloaks and we have the pictures prove it. My son and his buddy helped with a record-setting load out time before heading back to Corvallis. And I headed home for a little rest.



At the end of February, I flew to Denver for a wholesale show. Shiny! Look for our new mini-maribou fans, excellent for tickling the unsuspecting. Swirly skirts in new colors. Jackets and dresses from China that pop with color and embroidery. And…. Wait for it…. Fans for the fans. Stayed with my new buyers, brunched with the bunch, partied with the hearty. Got the flu, lost my voice, kept my ears from imploding when landing, drove home, turned on the bed heater, plugged in the humidifier. “And so to bed”, as Sam Pepys so aptly said.
