September 5 Sew-Happy

 

Frankly, the news this morning scares me on every level: body, mind, heart. Wars in the Middle East, Far West, Europe, Asia and dropping bombs on ships in the Caribbean all at the same time? The rising cost of food, the continuing attacks on immigrants, and the confusing decisions of courts? Then, every once in a while, something catches my eye that makes me smile, like this article!

Granted, it was written about a crazy busy trend of learning to sew and alter things happening in NYC; however, like so many "trends" what happens there can seep into the suburbs and I have all kinds of hope that some store will come about to replace the sew-missed (pun intended) Joanne's which closed up shop earlier this year. 

In truth as all who know me know, I do have a "stash" of fabric thanks in large part to following my mother-in-law and my daughter on fabric missions over the years. So, until that new store opens somewhere, I will work down my stash and be sew-happy that sewing is new again!  Like the article suggests, "I feel like a Renaissance woman!"
