Debbie asked question(s) referring to Carolyn's question inviting opinions. I merely made a comment using Erica's posts of late as an example. I didn't say Erica's blog was tiresome, just that it was tiresome to see her focused on just one thing for so long. The blogs are their's to write - what they please, when they please, and how often they please. If when reading it doesn't interest me, I'll skip it on by. That doesn't mean it won't appeal to me on another day...I do go back and re-read older posts. If you re-read my earlier comment, I said, "I do enjoy all the shopping pics and what I made pics..".<br /> <br />I'm well aware of "life happening" and sometimes not having all the hours in a day you need. (I worked 2 jobs for 9 years as a single parent to raise and put a child through college.) I also know Debbie is a Powerhouse and can tackle anything life deals her and deserves any rest or break she takes. And Erica as well is such an expert in her clothing details inside and out...IMHO I think at this time she probably is wrapped up in the new Isabella (and rightly so). I'm sorry you think I wasn't being nice as that was not my intention.<br /><br />ps. I agree with all ElleC said.<br /><br />Joy in PalmlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-41618140357321055652012-02-20T09:01:04.832-05:002012-02-20T09:01:04.832-05:00You are so bad!

It all motivates my sewing mojo and enlightens me to sewing/dressing outside my comfort zone.

I do enjoy all the shopping pics and what I made pics, but a steady diet of just one thing, re: "What I'm wearing (Erica B's DIY)'s" lately gets a little tiresome.<br /><br />I first stumbled on your blog, searching for info on FBA and drafting slopers, and I discovered so much more. Your thorough description of techniques (coverstitch, eShrug adjustments, sleeves for V1250, etc.) hooked me as a follower immediately. (Way before you changed your blog header.) There are many lurkers out here who appreciate the time you devote to your blog, and we do like to hear what's happening in "life".<br /><br />I would have commented on Carolyn's blog, but her options make me unable to do so.<br /><br />From Joy in PalmlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-81871997440251251962012-02-19T22:27:42.516-05:002012-02-19T22:27:42.516-05:00Okay my post wasn't directed at you at all!

I'm really liking this phase of your blog because you are sharing with us the latest stage of your life, plus you are working a lot right now and need to gain some work/life balance...but that will come and the sewing will come back then to.<br /><br />I'm so glad that you like the shoes...did you only buy the one pair?

I really found your information on Flatlocking really useful too . So thank you for all the time and effort you have put in doing the hard yards for all of us out there . I have a blog too but although I have been sewing I havent made any posts for ages for a whole range of reasons. I must start again as being part of a community is so great especially when sewists are still a bit rare.!!memhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520080648914042943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-57568848354385233872012-02-19T22:18:25.002-05:002012-02-19T22:18:25.002-05:00You look quite like the up-and-coming young execut...You look quite like the up-and-coming young executive!<br /><br />Since you asked, my DD drove from Clearwater, and we drove from Daytona, to meet at a Turkish restaurant in Orlando (on 17, half-way between oriental row on 50 and Leu Gardens) called Atilla's.
