July 10 **
well, tomorrow morning i fly out to LA for the taping of the new show
"Uncommon Threads" which will be on the DIY network...
wowee!! i'm realizing now that i'll be on tv for crochet, weird!
i get back on thursday
but leave on saturday for a week long vacation in Rangeley Maine with my
family... i cant wait for that, this trip to LA will be fun and alot of
work, so the vacation right afterwards will be great... and i'l get to be
with my honey 24-7 for 7 days, yay!!
so, you'll hear from me
in two weeks! maybe sooner, if i can get some time in before i go to
sleep in LA... wish me luck!
