My writing is practically nil at the moment and don't mention sewing. I still have that material I bought to make my granddaughter a dress. I've gone off the idea completely and it will probably end up at a jumble somewhere. But I had some cards and notelets printed before Christmas of some drawings I did. Everyone has commented on them, which has given me encouragement and a whole new outlet for my creativity. Things don't stay the same for ever, and why should they. Just carry on doing what you do. And a big wuff to Indy.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938216505505274248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-49760051557302507252013-01-18T13:09:41.978+00:002013-01-18T13:09:41.978+00:00I read a lot less than you but I try to compensate...I read a lot less than you but I try to compensate it by writing.
