Very exciting--I hope you share pix of the textiles show and the things you take to it.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to get out and catch up with everyone--I love the recent sketches. Something very powerful and decisive about them. <BR/><BR/>The story about your grandmother has really made me think. One of my first thoughts was how difficult the transition from wealthy in the city to married to a farmer in the country must have been for her. And then for it to be an arranged marriage...She must have become very strong through all that...Karen Smitheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04584636153202712192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-34568583811319494882007-12-27T22:46:00.000+01:002007-12-27T22:46:00.000+01:00Dear Adam Brown, I never asked and will ask anythi...Dear Adam Brown, I never asked and will ask anything about any diet whatsoever.

It leaves enough time to make the whole thing a success. On the other hand, I'm right now working on the textile designs for fair in Francfort/Germany (I'll be there from jan. 7th to Jan. 12th), and I wish I had begun earlier with this task. I'm just now having thousands of ideas and little time to get them on paper. But that's life.

Cris my husband: yes he is french, I guess I don't mention him often because I guess he wouldn't appreciate it, he is shy in a way and likes to stay anonymous:). He is an engineer and very good at science- which I very much admire cause I'm not. He has long hair (pepper and salt coloured) which he wears in a ponytail, he is kind of cute and doesn't laugh when he makes a joke. He is always there, very caring, very supportive, with funny yet pertinent comments about me and my work, he likes ice cream and the Rolling Stones (well as they were before...) and order in his life. <BR/><BR/>Sandra thanks so much for your interesting comment about choices and for sharing the story about your mother's arranged marriage. <BR/><BR/>Suki,It is an interesting topic, I so agree with you and it deserves another post...<BR/><BR/>Now I'll head back to the TPS (temporary priority switch:) have a great day<BR/>AndreaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602563148936673366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-7235524050602966762007-12-20T02:05:00.000+01:002007-12-20T02:05:00.000+01:00There is an award awaiting you on my blog site, wh...There is an award awaiting you on my blog site, when you have time to come by and pick it up.Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-85759102758158206592007-12-19T00:36:00.000+01:002007-12-19T00:36:00.000+01:00Having spent some time recently researching family...Having spent some time recently researching family history I am so conscious of how many more choices I have than any of the women in previous generations of my family: important to remind ourselves of this, as you have done.

I lost my mom two years ago and was never able to share any of my quilting or art with her as I began sewing as a way I think to fill the huge void left in my heart.
