You say goodbye. I say hello.

Let's not mince words here: I haven't done a good job of updating this blog. I've done a LOT of sewing since August, but I couldn't bring myself to write. I guess I had this feeling that whatever I would write just wouldn't be good enough.

Then, this morning, we got the news that one of my husband's aunts passed away. This aunt was the type of person I aspire to be: loved by everyone who knew her, a writer, and dedicated sewist.

She was one of the people who firmly believed I could be a writer if I wanted to, and encouraged me to write more. I guess getting the news this morning forced me to realize that I needed to stop worrying that I wasn't good enough and start trying to write.​
