Sewing Class

We have 3 sewing machines in this house.  How often do they get used?  Rarely.  Why?  Perhaps because "sewing" belongs to a place of serene creativity and order....a place that only exists in my mind.

But now!  A homeschool sewing class has opened up in our town and the girls are enrolled.  They have had 2 lessons, and model the scarves they made yesterday afternoon below.  Why is it easier to pack up 2 machines and all their paraphenalia and sew up a storm somewhere else?  Most likely everyone who reads this knows "why"...

Today Willow cranked out a little drawstring bag all by herself after all her school was done for the day!   I predict a flurry of creativity spread all over the house in the days ahead!  Serenity?  Maybe not. But that's OK.
