Mom's sewing box
"Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort." Franklin D. Roosevelt
Today I went to the local antique show with a friend (thruthelookingglass) and got the chance to talk to some great people. We met a terrific guy that I bought 2 wonderful pillows from last year and he told us about the huge pillow he is making right now. He is wonderfully creative and a joy to talk to. A man who can sew!! Does it get any better than that?!!
Then spoke with another dealer who gave me a hug when we realized that we were kindred spirits...fabricaholics, to be exact. I came away with a beautiful piece of hand loomed red, white and blue wool (I LOVE red, white and blue) and the feeling that I really need to start creating and sewing again.
Right now I am buried under my creative supplies, but I came across the sewing box that belonged to my mom. It became mine when she passed away nearly a year ago. Coincidence? I think not.
It's time to unclutter, simplify, reorganize and start creating again.
(Oh...and thruthelookingglass and I have decided that we should be in business together! She is the most creative person I know. Let's see how this develops!!)
