August blues

Sometimes I don't sew for weeks, months even. Then there are times when I start and finish several projects in rapid succession, like yesterday when I made two skating skirts, one for my skating buddy and one for me. The down side was that I set aside another project that has a more weighty deadline, the Renaissance costume for my daughter. The skirt is nearly finished on that but there is still the blouse and corset. I'm ashamed that I chose the instant gratification the two skating skirts represent in the face of the long term commitment to the historic costume.

What's the name of that song?

Thankful

Here I am with my friend, Chris.  Our conversations as we carpool to the rink are priceless.  We solve problems, confirm suspicions, share heartaches and make plans to conquer whatever daunts us.  I am truely fortunate to have Chris as my skating buddy.
