Happiness is
- seams that line up perfectly
- seams that line up perfectly around a circle
- getting the perfect tension for different-colored upper and lower threads while sewing velcro
- sharp shears
- already having a bobbin with thread in the color I need
- not having overdue Etsy fees in spite of ignoring the shop
- sewing a sleeve onto a neckline and not needing to utter foul words
- secretly making cardboard craft projects for the kids to do tomorrow and not being found out
- thinking about smocking lessons with Auntie Laura - in Singapore - after Christmas (Auntie Laura says, "Easy! Start with polka dots." So cryptic; I can hardly wait.)
- not sewing in favor of playing in parks with the children every day this week.... in November.
I, too, find that happiness often corresponds with seems and bobbins.
ReplyDeleteI would add that happiness is when a project exceeds expectations.

Smocking is easy if you start with polka dots???? Oh please come back and share with us! I have always wanted to smock, but I'm terribly intimidated.

Oh, I would love to learn to smock - please share what you learn?
