But, as a blogger, that doesn't mean I won't try!
Check this out at Sew And Sow Life.
The internet, and social networking particularly, receive a lot of criticism in the press and I have done my fair share of laughing at some iterations of virtual life on the net. But sometimes it is all very real. I know the creative creator behind Sew and Sow Life only through her blog which I found through a mutual friend. I have been inspired by her posts and her pictures, her choice way with few words compared with my, let's call it this morning, voluptuousness. We've exchanged a few emails but never met in person, though I feel an affinity with her through the ether.
And now this. She posted some fabric. I thought it would make a great apron. And now it is. And she's sending it to me! I'm so surprised and amazed and impressed (with the sewing skill) and touched and humbled. And because it's an apron, I'm excited. I have been out of the kitchen for seven weeks tomorrow and am yearning, aching to get back to it.
And now, when I do, I'll have something pretty to wear. It will be a reminder always of the kindness of strangers, so to speak, even though I think of her more as a friend.
Thank you, Karen.
What a nice surprise for you!
ReplyDeleteI've found over the years that when I'm physically prevented from doing something (even if it's something I don't particularly like...such as cleaning the floors), the more I want to do it! I yearn for it...can't wait to be able to do it. Then, when I can... it's "meh".
You know, lately I've been finding my online relationships to be more tangible and real than the "IRL" ones. That is so cool that Karen sent you the apron:)
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome.
