I do take my work with me and often, an older woman will ask what I'm doing. I am surprised at how many women tell me that they quilt or knit although, they don't seem to understand what I'm doing. I smile and ask them questions about themselves whilst I continue to stitch. I have made peace with my decision and couldn't be happier.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048753941726949285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677127447548579248.post-84199080087706810202011-05-29T00:05:44.556-04:002011-05-29T00:05:44.556-04:00Your work inspires me Christine.

Its funny isn't it. You either get it or you don't. I have a couple of cloths I'm stitching at the moment and when people ask me (because I carry them with me in waiting rooms and other public places) what I'm doing, I'm never sure how to answer them. What do you say? By the way, I'm so glad you found peace with your decision. It is indeed a dilemna we all face from time to time when faced with two amazing choices. Ego is powerful is it not?Ahipara Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08379542516074480446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677127447548579248.post-25121745079270764872011-05-18T18:49:04.969-04:002011-05-18T18:49:04.969-04:00Thank you Lari.
