Well, I started out last year with big ideas and great intentions and got completely blindsided in January with a breast cancer diagnosis. NOT ME??!! Can't be!! But it was.
I was SOOOOO lucky that it was found early with my ANNUAL mammogram. It was however triple negative and after having a lumpectomy I still had to have 5 months of
chemotherapy and 37 radiation treatments. It was rough, but I survived! So 2013 was the year of cancer, it was found in January and my final treatment was near Thanksgiving.
I am very grateful everyday for my health and am starting to feel creative again!! I have been exploring painting again and working with watercolors. I have been doing a lot of organizing and purging. I don't feel much like sewing things to sell, but more to create some things for myself. I have created a travel wardrobe (mostly black) to wear to England in May.
I will be traveling to England with my best friend for a couple of weeks. We have traveled together in the past. We went to Ireland for 2 weeks, where we rented a car and found our way somehow all around Ireland. Mostly we were looking for sheep and wool fabric, we found lots of sheep but not much fabric. In 2011 we went to France for 2 weeks and explored Provence and Paris. We had planned this trip to England for 2013 but I kind of messed up the schedule. So now we get to go!! I have some hair again and am working on getting my strength and stamina back.
I will try to use this blog to record my preparations for the trip,travel wardrobe,packing tips and hopefully the trip itself.
