Update on Island Batik Getaway Blog Hop

Goodness, where has this month gone! This rambler has been a tad silent as I’ve entered the new year wearing lots of hats ~ juggling secret sewing, bookkeeping (closing out a year is always fun said no one ever!) and beginning a new year of teaching, travel and workshops. The hat I’d like to be wearing right now would have to be the one shown relaxing on a tropical island somewhere! Calgon take me away!

So how about that Getaway Blog Hop? Have you been escaping the winter woes with the Island Batik Ambassadors? I hate to admit I missed a few so this morning I decided to time travel and visit each of the blog posts to see the incredible talents of my fellow ambassadors. I thought I’d do a recap here for you, but don’t just look at the pretty pictures ~ there’s a story behind each creation that I’m sure will inspire you further so click on the links to “read more about it” then be sure to return to my blog tomorrow to pick up on the travel adventures.

Speaking of travel adventures ~ this rambler has a full travel schedule for the next few weeks, months and I’m all excited to share with you. Today I’m typing my blog through an app on my iPad to “test the waters” in prep for keeping up on the road. So we will see how the app performs compared to the computer!
