Like most of you I do not have many, hardly any, sewing buds in my real life geographical area. And most of the workplaces I have been in, saying you sew, well that gets you the kind of looks you would get if you said you were a competitive yodeler, quaint and probably nuts.
So, like many of you do too I am sure, I sit down at my dining room table and write about the one activity that I love more than any other, and when I read a comment back from some other part of the world, saying you know how I feel - well I feel the way I do when I read your blogs if you have them - connected.
We had a busy week here. Miss Scarlett was quite sick, better now thanks, but we spent a day in Emerg getting tests etc. and it was all pretty stressful for the family. I was fairly worn out by the evenings so when I read messages from you, well it gave me a lift.
Thanks for that.
I love reading your blog. Please keep writing here. Your posts make me smile, think and then go off and sew myself.
ReplyDeleteI found you via the fabulous Caroline. Loved your essay about sewing and restructuring one's "outside" to match one's "inside." I too have almost no one to talk sewing with. My other love, as yours appears to be, is writing. Again, very solitary. My husband has begun to ask me where I think I'm going to wear all these clothes. Now I'll have an answer for him.
