Upside down and fixed in less than a week...


When last we saw our heroine, Leah, she was happily planning on attending school in August at Wingate School of Pharmacy, near Charlotte. Little did we know what lurked around the bend.....(insert melodramatic music here)...Campbell University School of Pharmacy called last Tuesday offering her the last spot in their class. She would have loved to return to Campbell, but we had made the deposit and planned on preceding to WUSOP. Then Campbell called back and Leah was awarded a $7500 academic scholarship, which would really help for the year. Within 8 hours she answered an email looking for a 4th roommate at Campbell and it all fell into place...and finally I was at peace. Wingate itself looked terrific, but the housing options were less than desirable and we had not been able to make a commitment to housing because everything we found had at least one major drawback (too far, too old, etc)....so this worked itself out, she will be closer to Katy at Carolina (they visit back and forth during the year) and her friends are ecstatic that she is returning. We went to sign the lease yesterday and met one of the new roommates, measured the room and spent time with her friend Robert. Pics attached.

Now you say, this is a sewing blog, where is the sewing? Here it is....on Saturday I went to my favorite haunt (Sewingly Yours) and took a class from Debra Bohn on stabilizers...I sure learned tons. Talk to you all soon, love,b
