In Virginia now. I've been back in VA for about a year + . Still in college, I got hoodwinked into having to do another year due to non-transfering credits and screwey department class schedual for B.S. degree. I think that was B.S. Started the year pissed, and stayed that way for the duration. But I did take a pottery class during this time. Loved it and the professor was cute too! :-P
My mother moved back to Virginia this time too.

Look whats new!

RCM (Richmond Craft Mafia) is alive and kicking with 5 members strong and 3 pending. Too Cool!!!
I've been keeping busy. Working on new Fall items for Soleil Rouge, new items and styles for the upcoming opening of my other site Style Conspiracy and... finished and sent my Sampler items.

Caution! sneak peaks ahead!! I just have to show off alittle. :-)


I couldn't decide what style to submit, so I did a bit of variety. The mini clutch style will be available on Soleil Rouge in the next site update.

TTFN
Back to sewing!!!
