The guilt trip that I kept putting on myself is gone. Alternating between Mending, Alteration and Creating makes me smile. If any of you all feel guilty about sewing something before eliminating that pile of mending, try my big MAC.
It seems that I have not created any seams for over a year. I’m determined to do better. So far I’ve managed to get out some mending and matching thread. I even took the cover off my beloved Pfaff. Why is it I always feel I can’t really create something unless I first do some […]

I was moving stuff around while searching through my stash of UFO’s. Not the alien ships. UnFinished Objects. Those are similar to PIGs which are Projects In Bags, except I […]
