...that it's been far too long between blog posts. She's right!; but lately my work schedule has left little time for anything else - including (to my dismay) sewing.
It's SkillsUSA competition season once again folks; and with after school practice and preparation I've been far too beat up for evening and even weekend sewing plans. All of our hard work did pay off at Regional Competition in Griffin, Georgia though; 38 students representing four departments competed in 9 events and brought back 6 metals. My Cosmetology Department competed in 4 of the events and won two of the metals - a first and a second.

Needless to say, a very rewarding but TIRING day! These Regional winners will now advance to State Competition in Atlanta at the end of March (3 days) where we will also pick up six additional event categories that will necessitate more after school planning and practice sessions before we go. Keep your fingers crossed for us as all First place winners at State advance to Nationals in the summer.
In the meantime, I've taken to old outfits (lol - glad I have plenty of clothes) as I've had no time to make new ones.
