I haven't made a post here in months. Seemed like no one was liking anything and assumed nobody was looking.
That will change.
I will resume making several posts a day of ( hopefully) valuable content.
I have had a sewing studio for many years in different cities and towns, and have amassed a clientele into the tens of thousands. I finally built my own studio in the spacious attic of my house, which we had built a couple years ago.
I kind of live out in the sticks, so made the big decision to move out of my commercial sewing studio, several towns over, into my home one, and just do house calls.
This past Saturday was my first outing. It was amazing!
My studio space is awesome to work in and visiting clients at there houses is super enjoyable. I plotted a route based on the towns I go through and there were zero hiccups, even had time to get gas and run an errand.
Wish I had done this a year ago!
I have a longer version of a four minute sewing tour, here is the youtube link:

There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!
