Yesterday, Celina of Petit a petit and family tagged Melissa of Melly Sews!
Looking back, PR&P feels like a million years ago and also no time
at all. It feels like no time ago at all when I look at the pictures of
my kids and their friends for that time period. My favorite look, the
dress I did for Earth Day, was my favorite because it was a pleasant
surprise third design (after I had already executed then declared this outfit and then this one not up to par) I did a tutorial for it here: http://mellysews.com/ 2012/05/smocking-tutorial.html
But it also feels like a million years ago because of how much has
happened since then. When I competed in PR&P I was still working
full time as a teacher, but the summer after the contest was when I quit
my teaching job to go all in on my blog and launch Blank Slate Patterns,
a year after that I got an out of the blue email from McCall's about
publishing some of my patterns for Joann Stores, and then a year after
that I met the lady who introduced me to my book publisher and spent the
summer working on the book proposal for Sundressing,
which just got published this June. So much has happened in not a long
time, but all those events have added up to a life that I wouldn't have
even dreamed of during PR&P, and for that I am so, so thankful.
I'm going to tag a lady who has also become my dear friend since then, Jen of iCandy Handmade.
I like her shoes! I think it's very convenient for little girls! custom written essays is the best way to save some time for relax and let our workers do everything instead of us!
