The Lost Post


I haven't figured out how to delete just photos from posts without losing the text, so I ended up losing my January 1st entry. Here it is: I feel good about this first day of the new year. There's creative energy in the air, and I'm ready to make this a fabulous year. There are garments to be made and stories to write. I have even been asked to design and make the wedding dress for my best friend's daughter. In the past I would have said no to such an offer. After all, I've never made a wedding dress before. Back when I was just 15 years old I was offered an opportunity to design and make all the costumes for a local ice skating show. I have often wondered what might have happened had I accepted that job. I believe my skills were good enough to put together some really nice pieces, but my confidence level was just not there. I'm happy to say that the confidence level is quite different today. My experience at Cal really helped in that regard. It taught me that with hard work and focus I can accomplish just about anything. Here's a photo of the famous Campanile.
