Changes

Life does like to throw curve balls at us, doesn't it? The last two years have been rough ones for my family. We lost my Mother-in Law, my Mother, my Brother-in-Law and then my Father. It seems as if we just get on the road back to normal, then another loss occurred. Which has lead me to think a lot about priorities and what do I really want to do with my life.
I still love to teach and won't be fully retiring anytime soon. I am slowing down though and limiting the number of classes and seminars I do each year. Why do I tell you this? Because in the past I have taught a lot and in many different places. This resulted in students thinking that they could take one of my classes any time. Not anymore. If you see a class you like, take it. It may never be offered again. 
Another big change is with the Cottage Garden Threads. They have discontinued their entire line of pearl cottons. What I have listed on my wed site is all there is. Once it is gone, I won't be able to get anymore. I'm searching for a new variegated pearl cotton to use in my designs. I'm fairly picky about my threads so it is taking a while. Hopefully I will find one to love soon!
