I was hoping for a regular night of supporting my ladies, selling fabric and then sneaking home quietly!
Boy, was I in for a shock!
A good friend had sneakily organised a surprise party for me half way through the evening, and invited many more friends and classmates to join in the fun!!!
There were gifts, cards, donuts & a fabulous cake!
I was completely over-whelmed and touched by the thoughtfulness and well wishes of all these lovely friends! There really aren't the words!
Thank you, thank you my lovely friends for being so teachable, caring, funny and inspiring! It has been a privilege and a pleasure to contribute in a small way to your unending talent and creativity!
I will miss you all. Keep sewing & making wonderful things!
Today my dad and I cleared out the classroom, brought all the bolts, equipment and samples back home! The end of an era!
And as if the past 24 hours wasn't emotional enough, look who got back home tonight!
So tomorrow the Christmas decorations will go up (& to quote my 2 younger daughters, 'fiiiiiiiinnnnaaaallllyyyyy!') and some serious family time and spoiling of children will begin!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Sounds like some exciting times ahead and some very satisfying ones behind. Enjoy time with your lovely daughters.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that they gave you a lovely party, I am sure that they are going to miss your classes and all, but also wish you some time to rest and regroup. I hope you have a lovely time with all your kids back home too.
ReplyDeleteSorry I couldn't make it over for your big night -haven't quite mastered the art of being in three places at once, managed two but the third is still eluding me! Anyway, thank you for all of your time and energy and patience. May this break be all that you need it to be.
