I’m probably one of the few people I know who finds change something inevitable and interesting. No, not just the changes of time, etc… But… Let me see if I can explain. A few years ago, my sister visited our hometown. She hadn’t been back for several decades and the …
The jacket – a work in progress. I’ve managed to sew everything but the sleeves on the exterior part. Next step? To reach the same level with the lining. Lining is scary, I keep putting it off. I admit that. Completed projects! Much more exciting… I made myself a purse. …
Eight years ago, I came close to dying. Normal day, it seemed. Gym, coffee with a friend, dinner with husband, then home. Not feeling well. Went to bed…woke up 3 days later in the hospital. My heart had an electrical mishap and, basically, stopped. Though from what the tests showed, …
I had a busy weekend. Spent several days with my mother, discussing my sewing projects, current and future. Received a great deal of advice and encouragement.
