Marc finally got around to posting his photos from EMMA last year. It's only been almost a year. That's what having a baby does to your productivity I guess. *winks* I've been patiently waiting for him to post this album, because I knew he took a couple of photos of Magda, and I was hoping they'd come out well.

I took today off to sew. Because I know myself, and I knew I wouldn’t be done with my projects for EMMA (and I’m not). So here's my to do list, and I'll be updating as we go along today. Departure time from Frogholm is approximately 5:00 p.m. Departure time from NH for NY (overnight stopover) is approximately 6:00 p.m ( Read more... )

Housing assignments are out for EMMA. There are six of us going out, and four are bunked together (with two strangers) in what looks like might be a couples room (someone said some of the rooms have double beds). I'm bunking with someone I don't know, just two of us in a room. And Kristina is bunking in a quad with two other women and one guy ( ( Read more... )
