The sewing bug is biting again!
Last weekend I went to my cousin’s wedding and got to see lots of relatives that I haven’t seen in a long time, like second cousins an first cousins twice removed and stuff. The wedding was really beautiful, but I forgot to take my camera so you’ll just have to imagine.
Anyway, the morning after the wedding the whole family was sitting around eating breakfast at the hotel and catching up. My cousin Amber got these awesome sewing magazines out of her bag and starting passing them around. I knew she had some cool job in New York, but I didn’t really know what. Turns out she’s the editor of Threads magazine! I loved flipping through the pages and seeing all the great projects. Apparently they work for a year on all the articles to make sure that they’re perfect, no mistakes. I’m no great seamstress, but they had some ideas for adding embellishments to clothes you already have and stuff that even I could probably do. Hmmm…. what to sew?
I’m still waiting on my Funky Scarf Swap package, but it’s coming all th way from Canade so I’m trying not to be impatient.
I can assure you that mail to and from Canada does take forever! But it does eventually get there.

wow, your cousin has a really cool job!
Wow, what an awesome job she has! That magazine is full of great ideas.
Ooh, you’ve got some connections. I hope that you got to talk shop with her a bit.
Very cool. What’s first on your project list?
I wish I could sew. I stink at it. I cannot wait to see what you create though.
Sounds like your cousin has a cool job.
I catch the sewing bug every September. I always sew LilMan’s Halloween Costume, but it takes at least two months becuase I’m not very good at it yet!
I’m interested to see some posts about your sewing adventures!
There’s no excuse! You must start sewing!
It’s on its way! I sent it last week… I hope it’s there by Saturday, at least.
I just realized the letter I wrote to you didn’t, uh, make its way into your package.
I will tell you what I used to knit it once you receive it. I can’t wait! I hope you like it; it almost didn’t make it to you. I had about 10 people ask if they could have it.
Oh I just saw that magazine this week – that’s cool that your cousin gets to work on it!
