My Daruma
J’ai pris la clef des champs quelques temps. J’ai de bonnes raisons sans doute : outre les semaines qui filent, il y a eu bien sûr la perte de tous mes patrons de couture par cet affreux déménageur et une panne de machine à coudre. Mais qu’importe les raisons, je reviens par la petite porte en 2012, tranquillement. Je me demande s’il y a encore quelqu’un derrière l’écran… C’est au creux de l’hiver que j’aime coudre pour l’été.
It is the third week of August and I have felt the first signs of Fall. While walking Brae to her first day of school I noticed the early morning fog has a deeper wetness to it. The clouds threaten rain even though we shouldn't have a drop until Halloween.

It has been one of those weeks that makes my brain hurt. There is so much going in and swirling about up there, that if you have had a coherent conversation with me at any time in the last 5 days, consider yourself lucky. -- We have had heavy kid issues, the kind that require us to pull out the Bible and sit down and have real deep, honest, awesome discussion about forgiveness, faith, grace, humility. All amazing and wonderful, but it can take a toll on the old brain cells to explain humility to a six year old and grace and forgiveness (but not forgetting) to an eight year old. Helping a kid understand stuff I struggle to understand hurts my brain. -- That Kony guy.Our company offers a wide range of elegant heirloom needlework supplies and exclusive handcrafted items honoring the beauty and tradition of all things handmade.
