Flypaper thoughts over and underestimated things in life



  • Only two and a half more weeks then we are home
  • Should be back to my real life and posting real sewing then too
  • I have been thinking about the title topics of this post
  • Here we go
  • Staystitching is underestimated
  • It keeps things from stretching so so much
  • Like 2" in a scooped neckline
  • That's why the facing doesn't fit
  • From wide to narrow, down to up
  • Stay stitching really works
  • Best thing I bought all year was 
  • A dog stroller
  • Miss Daisy likes to walk only in one direction
  • But with short legs she doesn't get that this means she has to walk the same distance back
  • Dog strollers are a genius idea for the beach
  • She goes as long as she wants and then I pop her in
  • She loves it, lies and watches the waves and the people
  • Never underestimate the usefulness of really nerdy and embarrassing things
  • My daughter says though if she sees that thing in the neighbourhood she will be mortified
  • Never underestimate the freedom of being at the certain age when you don't give a shit
  • Never underestimate the soothing effect of spending time with your dad's old friend
  • When your own dad died before the internet was invented
  • Do you have any idea how great it feels to sit and talk to someone who knew him and is still exactly like him?
  • Like a quiet gift giving me some time with him back
  • Friendships transcend anything
  • This week my best friend from home made me a sample and sent me pictures the same day I asked
  • We all need pinch hitters
  • And the no questions asked people
  • Remember when you were a kid and life was a cashless environment
  • When your best friend was everything?
  • Well that hasn't changed
  • Only you did for a while
  • But you can get it back at any time
  • I am now friends with my dad's best friend's daughter too
  • Never underestimate the power of a nice hand stitch to go where no machine dares to
  • Wish Jill Scott made more movies
  • The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series was amazing
  • She had these cool cotton dresses too
  • Never underestimate the value of a man who brings you coffee in bed before you get up
  • As a matter of fact that should be a pre-nuptial test question
  • Got to get to San Francisco to see where the kid is living and working
  • Right now I feel I don't know where he is
  • Got to have a picture in my head
  • Like to see where they buy groceries, where he catches the bus
  • That's what matters
  • Those are the picture I want
  • More possessions than you can fit in an rv is probably overestimated
  • Only thing I have missed is...
  • OK can't remember what that is
  • Where we are I see flamingos flying in the inland waterway
  • All pink with dangling long legs
  • With all these gifts there are no things to miss
  • Only people
