Thanks Nancy, not much sewing these days--how about you?

Good morning Trish! What a lovely visceral love story! I was right there clutching, shaking, fretting, and then, sadly, crumbling. But then hope springs eternal. 💚

It’s been a minute since I’ve had time to dive into Substack. The art show is winding down and I’m glad for more reading time.

I'm sure it was a success. Loved the giraffe JJ Cox bought. Will you write a reflection when things calm down? Would love to read about it.

Yes, she’s been patiently waiting for the zebra. 😊 Yes, absolutely. Still processing of course and now working to update the website, find other venues, etc. it’s an amazing journey so far. Thanks Trish.

Lots. I have too much stash, way too much. It's relaxing but also stressful as there's just too much. My fantasies of tiny houses fade quickly when I realize I'd need TWO to handle my life and my sewing life. HA!

Great story, resonant with meaning -- and the grill looks wonderful with that plant sprouting from it!

No, not in PAPER BAGS, wrote part in a group I’m in with Melissa Greenwood and then later decided to create a Substack post. Thanks for your response. 🥰
