Nothing doing, I'm keeping that boo...Fledgling,<br />Nothing doing, I'm keeping that book!<br />I am so pleased that you found my rambling ways to be alright. Sometimes I just make my own weaving way to get where I'm going. <br />I think that your 90% comes across wonderfully in the book. In fact I was showing it to non-sewer this morning, she had a good long look and said, "I love it! Looking at this has given me a great idea for a painting!"<br />So, there you have it.<br /><br />I may have to give that moose calling roller disco thing a try :)Lola Novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215529779296867987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-55711084096979019672010-02-20T12:10:11.815-08:002010-02-20T12:10:11.815-08:00((Alex))
I wrote a comment last night. I took so...((Alex)) <br /><br />I wrote a comment last night. I took so long to write it. Maybe after all that time, I actually forgot to hit "Publish"...or got the word verification wrong. Fonest, that was the word verification. And I come back today to see if you responded... Fonestly, Alex, I am a bit speechless. I am humbled. So many kind words. Not only that, but exactly the reaction I wanted from this book. Exactly. But, dangit, return the book and ask for a refund. It is wasted on you, because you already GET IT. To me, the clothes are just about 10% of the reason for making the book (a great 10%, but nonetheless...). 90% is just about getting your flow on. If sewing isn't the thing, maybe crocheting, or photography or gardening or writing or drag racing or break dancing or moose calling or roller disco ... I don't judge. As long as it is a good and happy thing and builds community. So, if at least one reader gets it, I think the book is a success. A best seller, even if the numbers don't support my delusions.<br /><br />What makes my tear ducts oddly squishy at the moment, is...allergies? Or maybe your mentioning of something encouraging I might have said to you? Yeah, maybe that. Maybe that, because I know what the right words at the right time have done for me. Maybe, like Bruddah Walter, those folks didn't even realize at the time that those words would make an impact on me. My goal, as deluded and narcissistic as I am, is to help people find that happy, flowy place. It is great privilege to have the opportunity to do so and a humbling experience when it happens.<br /><br />Have I gotten to saying THANK YOU?? Maybe rambling is catching. Um: THANK YOU!! For the posting, for your words, for making magic clothes for Pony Girl, for just the way you are.<br /><br />As for rambling, in crafting, raising kids, probably surfing, and life, a nice ramble now and then is probably a good thing.<br /><br />XOXO -N.Fledglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773079154826856034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-64919151570595400582010-02-20T01:38:04.936-08:002010-02-20T01:38:04.936-08:00Love that story, love your blog..why the heck have...Love that story, love your blog..why the heck haven't I been here before!?<br />Thanks for that encouraging story, I am currently trying to get any sort of mojo back let alone a sewing one.Luisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08593040435671084991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-55040205433555846962010-02-19T23:55:01.807-08:002010-02-19T23:55:01.807-08:00That Jacket is looking fine....now i finally have ...That Jacket is looking fine....now i finally have my Miss V I am truely looking forward to making a whole host of yummy clothes for her..i wait in anticipation to see some creations from that lovely lovely book....rxxtedandagneshttp://tedandagnes.typepad.co.uk/ted_and_agnes_365_days/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-61130221731509579512010-02-19T23:18:31.524-08:002010-02-19T23:18:31.524-08:00Gnarly dude, good to see you gettin' your sew ...Gnarly dude, good to see you gettin' your sew on :)Aussie-wafflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110855454126770624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-82736508603283677622010-02-19T20:20:54.116-08:002010-02-19T20:20:54.116-08:00Well now, here I was all worried that I had ramble...Well now, here I was all worried that I had rambled on too long and strange...I should have known that you of course, would understand.

With my new crafty enterprise I need all the encouragement I can get and I think Sew with the Flow is going to be written out and pinned above my sewing machine. So true!
