Hi! I am back!

Hello all,

It's been a while that I have not posted anything on this blog and to be honest at this point maybe is not that important since I am starting with it and I know I don't have many followers at this moment. As I mentioned before, the purpose of this blog is not either make money or look for web traffic, but to commit to develop my skills on my favorite hobby which is sewing.

I would like to share with you what has been going on... my husband graduated from law school (I am so proud of him!!) so I was in the middle of the graduation activities. Also work has been crazy for me, too many things and not able to handle them without working until late. So my extra time for working out, sewing, and having a life.... went straight to heck as you may imagine.

But then, something happened! I got two interviews for jobs I have been applying...and to make the long story short, I have a new job!! :-)

I started this month and I like it a lot! The best thing is that I have a schedule now that will allow me more time to sew among other things I have wanted to do a long time ago!! I made a promise to myself to make sure I have quality of life and not just work work work!

Anyways that is all I wanted to share with you today, oh! and also that I am working on a skirt, the pattern is Simplicity 2226. I will be posting the finished product and my feedback on this pattern later this month.

Thanks for reading!!
