What stitching would you take to a desert island?--on topic

You should have said that the first time around. Instead, you wanted to mend.

Cheryll Mending has been one of the most ancient adorning /embroidery techniques. many do it and enjoy doing it. And so do i !!! mirjam

Ps go and have a look at my work Haifa lights at night ,, it is mostly domne with sewing threads!!! Go and have a look at my GM`s tablecloth on "Fabrics Remember" on my site as well [ it is ALL done with sewing threads. mirjam

And for the rest of us, mending is a chore.

No - should it??? (grinning evilly)

I have referred to it as " My super hummingbird chart" for so long that I had forgotten the real name!

I was going to start it last fall and got sidetracked. Maybe this year??

Yes, they are. And had you asked why someone would want a book, what the book would do for them, you might have gotten an answer to your question, but instead, you phrased it as "why would I need a book when there are surroundings for inspiration." You may have meant it as a question, but your phrasing made it seem like a criticism. That's unfortunate if it was not your intent.

From here, it looks now as if you are trying to represent your intentions differently than they were.

That makes sense. But what you said was that you wanted sewing threads for mending, not for creative work. And while mending can be creative, that isn't how you presented it.

And YOU have prooved my point , that no matter what i say you will find Fault in it, when i claim that there are some boders between craft and art , you call me names , now that i say that on certain places craft /mending is close to my art . you find fault in it as well , i don`t change mr words i am the same , i just divide my activities ,, Mending is ne of the most creative , and ver satifactory as well ... mirjam

Who, me???

I've been side tracked for years on it!

Linda mentioning that one has excperience in life , and letting it influence decisions, is very normal .. I don`t remember having complained about my life ,, as far as i know it is your friend Karen who always complains about her health etc,,,,, i just take my life as it happens ,,, But surely use my learned lessons ,,, mirjam

No - you just tell us we are wrong, stupid, misguided, not creative, uneducated, shall I go on......

Please show me where I called you a name or even had anything to say to you about the borders between craft and art. I think you are mistaken and owe me an apology.

Yikes, I fell off my chair laughing, you could have made me break my pelvis or something, and no it isn't the wine, I am going out in a moment lol

When people here talk about drinking does it mean they are Drunken ? When i mention i have read someting different than you , or done something in a different method it only means that it is different ,,,, i never used the words you just used. mirjam

Please don't hold your breath waiting for an apology. We need you here.
