Here's my new blog explaining why ... http://mytextileobsession.blogspot.com/
krystyna i too have a textile obsession and i came by it naturally. i have been sewing (and crafting) since the age of seven mostly self taught. it is in the genes of my maternal family. all of us (women) at some point in our life sew, quilt, knit/crochet, rug make, hand embroider, etc. i still have a container or two in my basement full of my fine fabrics collected over the years. if they were in a place for me to freely fondle i would. on one of my trips to san franciso i discovered a fabric store (near the mission district) that had $800/yd silks and specialty buttons. the nice sales woman let me fondle the buttons for a bit and snipped me tiny pieces of the silk. i will follow along on your blog to see your progress.


happy birthday!!!!! love and celebrate every year you have.
