The Pagoda Pleaters

I'd like to introduce you all to the Pagoda Pleaters!! We are a newly forming SAGA chapter (smocking guild) in the Reading, PA area. So far, there are 5 of us who are eager and excited about starting a local guild. We met together for the first time yesterday and shared lots of great ideas. We already have a pretty impressive line-up of classes/meeting topics to cover in the fall. More details will be posted soon!

Missing In Action

Yes, I've been missing in action for the past month. On March 17th, we welcomed Buster the Beagle into our family. We adopted him from our local animal rescue league. He's a great little dog, but he has certainly added some more activity to our family. He is 2 years old and as sweet as can be. He does have a few "issues" that we are working on with him. Needless to say, my days have been a bit busier than before with taking care of him.

Now that he is settling in, has been neutered, and also treated for an infection, life can come to the place of a new normal for us and Buster. Tomorrow evening I will be publishing a new podcast!
