Sorry for the personal followup, but I forgot about this post with the "I hope I'll be okay" part thrown in. At this point I know I'll be 100% okay barring medical oddity, but I knew I'd be in for 6-8 months of treatment, minimum, no matter what. I just didn't want to have my last contribution to this thread to have "hope I'll be okay" in it. Kauai will always be in my vacation plans from now on even if I don't take a job there, though. It was a great couple weeks even with the job interviews strewn through-out.

No snow in my neck of the woods ( sad face)... But I'm carrying 5 college credits that are kicking my butt with the work load, exams, reading, etc. Then I have an machine applique side-job (I'm appliqueing 4" greek letters and numbers onto jackets and t-shirts) I've been busy with. Then girl scout cookie booths and meetings, and we've added dance classes this week, and the list goes on! and on! and on! I still need to photograph the wedding quilt, but I also need time to sit at a laundromat to get it washed before gifting... When to do that with 4 kids in tow?? And next week I get to look forward to DH travelling to Minnesota Wed-Saturday late. Oh Joy! I would also like to work on a challenge quilt that has an ever-approaching deadline... Have grandeous plans that may not be achievable... That's where I've been... remember, you asked first!!

I am here but I've been a very bad friend. I've been juggling hobbies and, thanks to cold weather, I haven't been doing much mosaic through the winter at all. Though that's no excuse not to come by and see what you all are doing. I'm going to have to catch up on some of your projects. My sea serpent is getting closer and closer to being done. Can't wait until I can post some pictures. And I'm also wondering where SLOW has been? I don't see her posting on the board recently, and like you, I find that troubling. Hope she is okay!

I used to get the coolest ideas from this forum. I have made plate flowers, tea cup bird feeders, tin can lanterns, beaded flower hangers and mosaic stepping stones to name a few. There was more projects than I had tome to do now it seems pretty much dead. All you crafty people please start to post again for us inspiration impaired people like me.
