California Here I Come!

Santa Cruz Beach BoardwalkI leave tomorrow for Santa Cruz, hoping to spend as much time as possible with my extremely busy family while visiting some of the west coasts hottest fabric and craft spots and doing a bit of teaching. My twin sister is now a high school guidance counselor! She has been the wise and good angel of conscience on my left shoulder since we were three (Don't put that in your mouth! Where are your pants?? Don't date surfers!) so I would like to take a bit of credit for her training. She also sent one daughter off to high school and another to junior high AND started graduate school last week. Luckily her little boy is still in elementary school and has managed to free up his schedule in order to take TC and I to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (above) while we are in town. I don't know how you people do it. I can barely keep it together with a dog and a cat and a job that allows me to spend an inordinate time in my nightgown.
If you find yourself near Harts Fabric on Thursday night or downtown by The Crafters Studio next Wednesday, stop by and say hello! There is till a bit of room in the "Mendocino Smocked Sundress" class at The Crafters Studio, which is a great first dress project. You lucky Californians, we are getting ready to put our sundresses away here in New York.

Eat a Mike's Mess at Zachary's for me!
LOVE the Santa Cruz boardwalk. My family and I were there this summer and had a fabulous time. Too bad I'm missing all your classes. Have a great time!
Have fun Heather. Wish I could get to come this time. Maybe next time.
And I would love to have a job where I wore my nightgown most of the time......oh wait. I do too! Haha!
yeah!!! welcome back to cali, i hope there is no ash and smoke up there, as we are bombarded down here in santa barbara
If it weren't for the kids, I would soooo be up there taking a class with you! I guess i'll try and make my own dress this week
Have a great trip!
Yet another reason I wish I lived near Harts!
I am SO looking forward to your visit! Can't wait to see you and maybe get to listen to one of your great stories! Travel safely, are you bringing your critters too?
I can't wait! I'll see you there! Will you sign my Goldfish fabric? Ha!

Hi Heather,
It is so nice to be out in the sun and stay near by the beach.
We have been wearing long-sleeves and coats a couple of weeks now.
Have a great weekend~

That's such a cool picture! I love the areal view.
Hey Heather! Any chance you and TC will make it up to Mendocino???
Great having you and TC with us for a little while. Thanks for the lovely days at the Dream Inn and the ultra-fun volleyball matches—despite the little girl who kept expressing extreme shock over a guy as old as myself having a pretty girlfriend. There are worse problems, I'm sure!
Don't stop posting such articles. I like to read stories like that. By the way add more pics :)
