Actually, I dream of all the things I could make with all the different fabrics I fall headlong in love with. Get ready for a rather wacky ride through my imagination... via my fabric searches and sewing adventures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dove deep into this new passion with such fervor that it all seems unreasonable and a little scary.   Sewing/fabric hunting/stalking&lt;a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/"&gt; Burdastyle.com&lt;/a&gt; and imagining have become &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;what I do&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year ago my little Singer Simplicity was on a shelf in the linen closet, my mother's Futura (inherited) was stowed safely away under the steps in the garage , where I had instructed it to be placed, when we moved into this house 5 years ago, and the serger -- that mystery machine with all those hookie-things -- lived lonely on a table in the basement.... I wasn't even sure whether it worked or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;it&lt;/span&gt; started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuck in the middle of writing a book that just woudn't come clear (&lt;a href="http://www.reinventingyourwomanspace.com/books.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;From Trouble to High Places&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)... and dealing with some personal isms --  brought on by the self-issues that writing this particular book was forcing me to deal with -- I found myself ripe/ready for a new passion to save myself with.  That's how I landed here.. several mind-miles away from my regular website (&lt;a href="http://www.reinventingyourwomanspace.com/"&gt;www.reinventingyourwomanspace.com&lt;/a&gt;) and my book-excerpt blogs here at blogspot (http://reinventingyourmotherspace.blogspot.com and http://reinventingyourwomanspace.blogspot.com).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always known that creativity is a sacred foray into our zones of Self  that would otherwise stay asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Won't you join me as I go about waking it all up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love &amp;amp; Light&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1860894604762128001-3532669955189954080?l=fabrictales.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fabrictales.blogspot.com/feeds/3532669955189954080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fabrictales.blogspot.com/2009/02/welcome.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1860894604762128001/posts/default/3532669955189954080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1860894604762128001/posts/default/3532669955189954080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fabrictales.blogspot.com/2009/02/welcome.html' title='Welcome'/><author><name>Esther Davis-Thompson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14837582268589086085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
