I made it! I got out of Newark, and made it to Houston, and had an hour layover, picked up a dripping BBQ pulled pork sandwich, and went back to the terminal area to eat it, and got called to the podium, with BBQ sauce dripping down my arm, where the counter agent handed me a first class upgrade for the second leg of my trip.
So I went to California in style, and had a fabulous dinner, and wine, and read almost my entire book, and arrived in California rested, revived, and just a little tipsy…
The first day of the workshop went really well, I have 10 enthusiastic students, and the ballroom where my class is located, is off the lobby in the Marriott where I am staying, at one point I went back to my room so I could teach in bedroom slippers! My workshop angel Lisa and I walked down to Main Street for a fabulous lunch at the Upper Crust, best Onion Soup and sourdough Roast Beef sandwich I’ve every had. We will return there tomorrow. The class worked wickedly hard, got their patterns fit, traced, and stayed late to get their fabrics all cut. They are a terrific bunch, and I’m loving working with them. The fabrics are beautiful, and the California influence is obvious. Stay tuned…
