I'm not dead nor sick. I'm just having a very busy and very hard time. I haven't sewn a single stitch since October last year. Please bear with me, I'm really not in the right shape for blogging/writing right now and the lack of time is also killing me.
Thank you so much for thinking of me, writing me emails and giving me awards, that does help a lot and it touches me deeply.
I'll do my best and try to post next week. I miss you all.

Missing you too, dear friend... Take care and do not rush back if you need more time for yourself; we all need a break from time to time (I need one too!) and you should always come first.
(((HUGS)))

Prends bien soin de toi, ma belle. Je pense souvent à toi, tu me manques mais je comprends. J'espère que ta vie ira bientôt mieux. Gros bisous.
Thanks for let us know that you are fine.
We love you.
Sewing will always be there, it is the thread that holds it all together and never leaves the soul completely. So, I know you'll get back to it when you can. Selfishly, I hope it is sooner rather than later
Bentornata sono veramente felice di rivederti,ciao.Vici
Laura, you're quite an inspiration to me. I love your clothes and your style - both in garments and in life. You'll be in my prayers.
Hey Laura, hope things are going a bit better for you. I certainly miss your posts. To cheer you up, and because I admire your work so much, I've nominated you for a Sisterhood award over on my blog http://sewyld.blogspot.com
I'm so glad to hear that you are not ill or something. I've really missed reading your reviews & blog, just like everyone else! You teach me so much, it's like having my own personal sewing instructor. Take your time...hope you get NOT so busy, soon....and WISH that you were not having a "very hard time" of it. You can see that we all miss & care for you deeply, Laura. Ginny
Lots of love and really miss you !! Winifred UK

God Bless, Yummy mummy (Grace)
Soo glad to see you've posted an update. I was worried about you! Hang in there, we'll still be here when you feel up to posting (and hopefully sewing) again! Take care of yourself.
Thanks for the update. I hope things get better real soon.
Whew! I was beginning to think something sinister had happened. Take your time. We'll keep checking in so we're here when you are ready. Sending good thoughts your way.
Take your time...
Never forget that WE all LOVE you!!!
I'm so glad you posted, even just a bit. I know that things can be much, have faith. robbie
Are you still dancing, I hope???
Laura, take good care of yourself. Remember, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Also, God does not give us more than what we can handle. Can't wait to see your creations when you're ready. Be well! Evelyn from the USA
Love you Laura, Take care and come back as soon as you can WE miss you !!!
Thanks for letting us all know you're doing ok... please take care of yourself. I miss seeing your beautiful creations.

Hope things get better soon. I will keep checking periodically to read about your beautiful sewing and your salsa dancing stories.
Hope you are okay.
I'm glad to hear from you and know that you are still kicking. I'll be here when you are ready to post again. Take care.
Hope things are improving for you and that your return is imminent. Yours is my favorite sewing blog, but I know how it is when life intervenes. Your pics remind me so much of the actress, Marisa Tomei (just thought I'd throw that in).
Looking forward to your return.
I keep checking back to see if you have returned to making your incredible creations--sometimes life makes you go another way, however! I have also wondered about your sister who made the gorgeous coat by hand! I hope all is well and that you are enjoying whatever you are doing!
