They say 'Mother knows best,' and I guess it's true. From my earliest days I remember Mother commenting on my horrible sense of timing. She's been gone close to 8-years and I can assure you my sense of timing has not improved.
In her later years my mother started sewing as a hobby. She had sewn on-and-off for years but usually for projects like draperies, school costumes (I was a great pilgrim!), etc. My left-handedness intimidated her a bit so she never taught me to sew. Truth be told, I had zero interest in learning. Lest you misunderstand, that was ZERO interest.
Well, as it turned out, Mother passed away, we gave away all of her sewing materials and then, about two-years later, I wanted to learn to sew. This was also right after the sewing shop here in Greer closed down.
During my time learning about sewing I found an interest to quilt. Yep...right after the little quilting shop in town closed up. Since then Hancock Fabrics in Spartanburg closed and Wal-Mart in Spartanburg stopped carrying fabric and cut back on their stock of other craft items.
Fast-forward a few years and my new interest in loom knitting. I remembered there was a little yarn shop nearby in Taylors - oops - they closed up last month.
Now I'm working on jewelry - I guess I better get to that cute little bead shop - and fast!
Hope you're staying dry this weekend - we've had rain for days.
