My son was in town, visiting from Vancouver and as a result, I gave up my sewing room so that he would have a proper room to lay his head for his two-week long visit. It was wonderful to be able to spend mornings and evenings with him, discussing like, where his is at in life and what his plans are for the future. At 26, it looks like the kid is going to be alright and I didn’t screw him up irreparably!

In any case, this week he went back to Vancouver and after a good cleaning, I’m ready to get back onto my sewing stool. I’m so proud of all I was able to do last month, and checking out each book and choosing just one item to sew has really opened my eyes to all the wonderful projects I already have patterns for! In fact, today is the last day of the 99¢ sale at BMV.com and though I am tempted to pick-up more patterns, I’m hesitant to buy more. I have boxes of patterns waiting for me, would it really be prudent to get more?
