The luggage is packed… well, mostly. The clothes are washed…. well, kind of. The sewing is done…. well, besides a few bindings. The designing is finished…. well, not so much. The kids are asleep. Or at least they are pretending. And I am working on some last minute booth decorations…. ofcourse! I promised pictures from PIQF last week and ofcourse they never happened in the midst of the whirlwind that we have all come to know as Pre Market Frenzy. So here are the pictures of our booth from PIQF. Probably more pictures than you…

I apologize for any emails that may have been bounced back to you but we…

So its Saturday today, otherwise known as soccer central around our house. I can only imagine what it will be like when Ella gets older and decides that she too needs to play the family sport…. Heaven help me then!
