S. loves to sew

My colleague loves to sew, and like every budding seamstress she started a blog. Unlike every blogging seamstress she's got a quirky writing voice (which sounds exactly like her talking voice), and even more unlikely, she usually shows her failure, so us readers can all have a laugh at her expense. I enjoy reading her weekly adventures with the sewing machine – especially when what she shows is a far cry from perfection. It made me convinced I could do that too. So I steal the easy patterns from S. and let the Toyota sing. Yesterday's fair was a little cloth toy for a (different) colleague's baby. It earned me a kiss and much appreciation from other bystanders.
Reading someone else, also makes me more committed to writing. So here I go again, trying to find that rhythm. And trying not to turn this into a housewifely blog.
