Ramblings About Me, Myself, and I.

I laid in bed the other night wondering what the best way to describe myself was. Was it in point form? Was it best to think about how others would describe me? To say it by writing a novella outlining my life until now? I came to the conclusion that there wasn't really a 'right' way to do this, which also leads to the first thing about me - I over-think everything! As a student it takes me weeks to narrow topics for my papers, as a person I read into everything that happens in my daily interactions (online and otherwise), as a seamstress it takes me hours (and sometimes longer) to decide which pattern, options, and fabric I want to use.

Besides being an over-thinker I am also an empath. A positive, yet challenging trait.

I am a crafter at heart - I have always been the one to buy the supplies to make something over purchasing the product (and yes, most times this costs substantially more than it would have if I just bought the item in the first place). I vowed to myself early on that I would not go 'too far' with sewing. I didn't want to make things for other people, I didn't want to make it a business (I am notorious for trying to make my crafting endeavors pay for themselves). As I delve further in the sewing world though, I realize how much I love the craft, but also how much I love the community - which is full of passionate, creative, and amazing people. The more I think about it the more I have to hold myself back from going too far and taking my love for sewing to that next level (who knows how long that will last).... *spoiler alert* it didn't last long 😂

As for other interesting things about myself - I am tongue tied, I love off-roading, I have two boys, I am married. I used to breed reptiles for a living, and in 2015 we sold everything we owned including our house and moved from Ontario to British Columbia where I fell in love with the mountains and never want to leave.

Although this is only a small taste of who I am, I must tend to sewing for a test I am doing right now, because in a few days I'm off for a week and won't be at my machines. Must. Meet. Deadlines. Until next time.....
