Woohoo, she's a college grad!

I've been absent for the past few weeks because it has been a whirlwind month for us. Our beautiful daughter graduated last Thursday from Cal State Long Beach and it is a been a big event for us! We couldn't have been more proud to see her walk up the stage to receive her diploma! It is a day that we will always remember and keep in our hearts.

We had a party for her on Saturday and in spite of the "June gloom" weather we all had a great time. I wish I could explain the emotions I felt to see her happy that day with her family, friends, co-workers, and those that have known her since whe was a "little one", just to see her so happy, laughing and enjoying the day was worth everything! Even spending the day before with her shopping for food, drinks, decorations, the cake, and having lunch together -- I can see she was looking forward to this special day that she so deserved!

Graduation Time

Well, looks like I've neglected my blog again. It's been a busy couple of weeks. Our daughter will be graduating college at the end of the month (hurray!) and moving back home soon. So I've been scrambling trying to make room for the four years of stuff she's accumulated since living in the dorms and then sharing a condo with roommates. I know she should be cleaning her own room, but right now she has no time (and a little stressed) and I want it done! Besides going to graduation, we are also hosting a bbq/grad party for her, so time is running short and there is alot to do! Yikes!

In the meantime, I have managed to sew and embroider a little bit. I made a large totebag compared to those little ones, but I'm not sure it will suit me. Maybe too big. I'm going to continue with making bags because I'm having fun, but evenutally when life slows down a little I want to make a few tops for myself. I have found some cute patterns and would like to get back into garment making. It's been a long time since I've sewn clothes for myself, but I think it's time to do some serious sewing again.
