Have you every looked back at your life and thought nothing happens, everything stays the same? I do that all the time, feeling very much in a comfortable routine, work, grocery store, home, repeat. I have to say that the last two weeks of my life have been very different as I am recovering (exceptionally well) from a hip replacement. Two week ago today I had my hair cut very short cause laying around never makes for good hair.
We, (the girls at the shop) had been batting around the idea of moving things, like perhaps the civil war fabrics should go up front where there is more light, and then the batiks could all go where civil war was, and 30's where the batiks were, and it is non-stop from there. Well, a couple of phone calls and we (they) were off to the races. I feel pretty lame in this process as I was laying in the hospital and they were working themselves to pieces. Now I wasn't there, but I have participated in this kind of process enough to know those girls rock! That is hard work and I am just amazed as to what they have accomplished.
It is just so much more amazing in person I do hope you will come in and visit. I have the privilege of working with a great team of women. They work together, they laugh together, they pitch in for each other, and I can't imagine my life without them.
So in the last two weeks they shop and I have both been transformed. I will be back, not soon enough as I miss my freedom and the social aspect of the shop. But I am trying to soothe myself with what I have accomplished in the last two weeks, and some sewing projects are getting done albeit slowly. It is good to have a creative outlet and to be able to say I have at least accomplished something while healing. Back to sewing on borders!
