The littlest client

April 14, 2008 by Amelia

I spent the day behind my sewing machine working for a very important client. And talk about pressure. She was standing over my shoulder all day long supervising my every move.

Credit Card Girl

April 9, 2008 by Amelia

I’m sitting in a Panera Bread at the mall (insert fear and trepidation here). I’ve never been a mall gal. In fact, I really don’t like to shop. I prefer to know what I’m after, go in, buy it, and get out, and I always work off a list, whether mental or written. But tonight, […]

Over.Load

February 23, 2008 by Amelia

Brain. Over. Load. Can’t. Think. Straight. The whole coveting thing? Yeah. Didn’t work. I’ll just leave it at that. I can’t even begin to tell you how funny I thought it was that the 6th World Congress on the Aging Male was held at the same time as the Original Sewing and Quilting Expo. The […]
