A beautiful video

A lovely designer friend of mine posted a link of a wonderful video that has recently gone viral. I tear up every time I see it. If you haven't yet seen "embrace life," please copy and paste the addy below into your browser (for some reason the link icon is not working...) - bet you'll need a tissue ;-)

Okay, who teared up??

I have a little sneak peak of one of my designs for an upcoming "european style" launch I'm involved in starting April 5th. I am gah-gah for Michael Miller's "Thunder Flower" Fabric!! Since my lovely man has been a marital arts instructor for the past 20+ years, I jump at any opportunity to make anything ninja-ee (note my fantastic command over the English language...)!

I had this idea to draft a pattern that reflects the "GIs" the thunder flower gals are wearing in the print. So far, I'm kinda geeked about it. Hee
