When we decided to leave our home state of Colorado back in 1986, we knew we would be giving up a lot of things. We were leaving our entire family and our kids for a new life in Oregon. Over the years it has not always been easy being totally away from family and all the friends we left behind. But we have made some new friends along the way and we have survived. Until the last few weeks, I have been really OK with the move. I have recently reconnected with our Granddaughter Michelle..now 30 and we have something in common....crafting! You all know that really is the heart of me. I love to craft, I love to share my crafts and it brings me a great deal of joy.
I found out that Michelle wanted to learn to sew...I went on a hunt for a sewing machine for her. I was talking to my friend Jean and found out that her daughter had left behind her old machine and it was up for grabs. Well I immediately went to get it and got somethings together for Michelle and off the package went to Colorado. It arrived yesterday and Michelle is already working on some coasters this morning. I directed her to You Tube for tutorials and she is going for it. So although Michelle and I have not kept in touch over the last few years, we have now reconnected over something that gives us both a lot of joy. Now comes the part that is hard...I am not there to really help her get started on her sewing journey. We are doing out best to email and text, but it just isn't the same as being there. Also, my favorite niece is starting to sew again and I can just see the three of us having a ton of fun together. We are not in a position to move at this moment, but it is something to think about!
Happy Stitching everyone.
