Long pause, but I kind of like what I wrote last fall. Just to keep up the theme of mobility, I have decided that I have to move to a different room in my house. The room I'd been using, the one with the pile of fabric and patterns and so on, is just too dark. I mean, it's like working at the bottom of a well. There is only one window, large enough, facing west which would be great late in the afternoon you'd think but no--there is a little hillside sloping up from that side of the house with a bunch of overly-mature pine trees on top just to complete the picture: I haven't seen a sunset in 19 years.
So, the boomerang children seem to be moved out now and I can have the room with three windows that faces north and east, without trees or hills blocking the way. I started moving my books in there today--it was embarrassing to discover books that I thought I'd long ago lost or given away. On the other hand, new resources! I'm kind of excited.
Of course, I still haven't finished binding Matthew's quilt. I have made one cowl-necked top out of fabric from the $2.97 table. I actually did it twice because I decided it was a little shorter than I liked and I'd made one mistake that I could see but no one else would notice or would they? what the heck. I had plenty of fabric so I redid it and was much more satisfied. That's why you buy fabric for $2.97/yard: to experiment.
This time I really will try to take pictures of my sewing rooms, present and future.
