Hi all, I do hope others are only away because they are busy. I am NOT busy, and I love it. I finally went off down to Trail, and bought a big fancy sewing machine. A new Janome 6600. Its a quilter and a garment machine. I have never done quilting but I have this idea of somehow making outdoor garments from felts and fleece with motifs in fabric sewn across the front that are similar to my photographs. Dont know how to explain it but I am really exited about this idea.
I posted a photo here, but it was so HUGE i took it out. I cant seem to get photobucket to resize and keep the resizing. I hate photobucket. But I use it.
Now, was it Chill who asked but the accident I describe the aftermath of was a collision when I was 17, I was a passenger in a volkswagen beetle (a 1965 with no seatbelts) on our way into town on a friday night, when a middle aged man, now long gone, who was seriouly impaired and driving on the wrong side of the road on a windy highway in midwinter. I worked hard for several years to get back what I lost from that, and I was successful. It didnt stop me from working in the bush or having kids, or doing any of the really fun and interesting things Ive done. I minded, sure. I was in a wheelchair for the first year of college and had a brain injury that went untreated, but I was ok enough 4 years later to study biology and I went on from there.
One residual of all of that is that I dont have much tolerance for drunk drivers who complain about loosing the right to drive. I suppose I have been a bit harsh with a few of them on here, as a MofF, and i sort of regret that. I mean I AM totally sympathetic about the horrors of alcohol dependency and shaking the beast off, etc etc. There by the grace of God go I. But I have spoken up when folks with a DUI to work off complain and blame others for the tribulation of having to undergo rehabilitory legal consequences following a DUI. Thats probably why I am hanging out here wearing this false nose, eyeglasses and moustache. And occassionally, a bag over my head.
Lav I see that what you are doing is not free style sewing... its computer design and is it ever COOL! I bet you would find its like riding a bicycle though. Heck. If I can do it, you sure could no problem.
Everyone have a lovely day.
Love K.
