Hi everyone. It has been a long time since I posted anything here, and a long time since I have posted a review. I received a message from Deepika, which I just found today, and suddenly became very homesick for PR.

I have been extraordinarily busy at work for the past several months. I just got a promotion, and I have been struggling to keep on top of things. There has been very little time to sew, and when I do have the time, I have no energy. Things should slow down a bit now that the kids are on vacation. I will try to go back in my sewing room. I have a blouse that has been cut out for weeks, yet remans untouched. It has been nice just browsing through the messages here on the board after such a long time. It feels good to be home again.

SandraB, it's great to hear from you. I too have missed your posts and wondered where you were; imagined that things had probably gotten quite busy for you. Oh yes, congratulations on your promotion!

I too have missed you and glad to hear that everything is fine except for life just getting in the way of your sewing.

Sandra! I almost posted a message the other evening asking if anyone had heard from you. How eery.....

I'm so glad you are checking in with us. You have been missed. I hope that life calms down a little so you can join in more often. Welcome home.

So nice to see you Sandra! I was worried that it was hurricanes and not work busy-ness. I'm glad to hear you're safe and sound.

Thanks everyone. It used to be that as soon as I turned on my computer in the mornings, I would go straight to PR to check out all the new reviews. Now, as soon as I turn on my computer I start putting out fires before they consume me. It is really crazy. But as my mom always says, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. I will most certainly make the time to get back into my sewing and keep in touch with my family here at PR.
