Dreaming of...Sewing?
By did I have a nightmare this morning! I dreamed I was afoot, got hit by a semi tractor-trailer, and, with the resulting amnesia, couldn't remember that I sewed. No one knew where I was; I was in a strange city, in a hospital having reconstructive surgery for a long time after the accident, so my family thought I had been offed (after finding my purse in the dessert, where, unbeknownst to them, it had been carried on the bumper of the truck.) I guess they had me declared dead, because, as I discovered after about 4 years, H had three years later remarried, after giving away all of my sewing goodies. WHAT a nightmare!!! He was basically living in an empty house. I always dream in big screen, 3-D technicolor, and can usually (while still sleeping) re-write scenes, then make the actors resume their places and proceed with the re-write. This time, the saga just played out, complete with minor details. I never did recover my memory, so didn't even miss that Holy Grail of sewing, the Stash. am still having heart palpitations at the thought. The only good part: I had a great surgeon, and, MAN!!! did I ever look GOOD! Except for that slight limp, and having to use a cane when I got tired...and what was with the red hair? What does all this mean?? Cea who's buying my novel? BTW, there was a new love interest. |

What does all this mean?? Cea, it sounds as though you're seriously overworked! Could it mean that you WISH you could tell people you'd forgotten how to sew, so they'd just leave you alone? I'm not even going to the place where your husband is a stranger. LOL Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |

The red hair is obviously your inner wild woman coming out. Or possibly your Flair for life??? As for the rest. I agree with Karen. Got some folks showing up with alterations you hate doing? Wish they would forget your phone number? And we all have days we'd like to foist our spouses (children, parents, in-laws, the cat, etc.) on other people and have them out of our lives. Then there are other days we wouldn't trade them for the world. Either that or, honey, you gotta lay off the pizza/wine/garlic/ice cream before bed time. lol We won't even discuss some of the odd places my sleeping brain has taken me to. LOL!!!

Sharon --- I think perhaps y'all have hit the nail on the head. Earlier this year, I altered most of my DM's clothes, letting out and adding ingenious panels, gussets, etc, to allow for expanded girth, after listening to endless "I can"t lose weight!" sob stories. WEEELlll, guess what? Not a garment worn, and she is down 20 lbs. Whatever it is I do, I simply cannot break even, let alone win. It never fails, there is always a kicker in it for me. Now, natch, she wants them all taken in. Wish she lived closer, I'd cram her full of Pa. sticky buns topped with brown sugar and pecans, then offer up some butter scones for good measure. I want to rend my clothing and go screaming into the streets!!! Cea |

He was basically living in an empty house. I guess it was a nightmare, because I think the legal period of time to declare statutory death of a missing person is 7 years. ((((((HUGS)))))) But it's easy enough to get a divorce, by publishing the notice in the paper since you can't do personal service. -- Joanne @ stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us http://bernardschopen.tripod.com/ Life is about the journey, not about the destination. |

No tailor could meet such demanding expectations, and it would be my fault for making the referral. BUT...I've decided the gift of a box of large, shiny new safety pins is in order. )) Cea |
