Good morning,

June is the month during which all of my worlds converge!

Dance classes are finishing up for the season and I have my, now SOLD OUT, OCCP coming up – congrats to everyone who bought there tickets in advance!

Both dance adventures I am involved with, Belly Dancing For Fun and Bollywood For Fun are active and featured at many local events over the next few weeks!

I also am blessed with sewing work for the show as well as for the standard wedding season – which has some quickly approaching deadlines too!

And my Eco TAV products have just been reordered at Life without Plastic!

So that’s my excitement, and I look forward to seeing many of you Wednesday evening as well as potentially tonight, and next Saturday!

that will be designed and constructed in class the second part of the
week.
