Hello, This has been a terrible year for me, especially sewing & correspondence. Even with a new great-grandson, I can't get myself in gear to do much of anything.
But today, I really have felt good about sewing. The placemats, I was making for my sister when she died, have all been put away and the machine cleaned, as well as most of the sewing room. I cut out 2-cloth books for Nicholas, who will be 6-months old on Sunday; and I have the machine threaded to sew them tomorrow. My daughter, his Grandmother, posted a short, 30-second video on Facebook last week of him finding a toy and holding it up, which was a hint to make him some books. I made all the grandchildren several of these cloth books, using a good interfacing to make them durable, but washable & dryable for ease to keep clean. All loved them.
And tonight, I am reading and posting on alt.sewing. I do feel good, like renewing old acquaintances I've missed. Emily
