I'm a lefty and I wouldn't change it. I have had to be ambidextrous being a lefty. I also remember being in grade school and the teacher wanting me to write with my right hand. Thank goodness my mom didn't agree and I am a proud lefty. We are very creative and great people!

I certainly wouldn't change the rugs. I'm left handed for writing and at times ambidex - expecially with needlework. I think that depends on who taught me, if it was a lefty, I do it left handed, if a righty ? taught me, I do it right handed. My Dad taught me to have fun with it, he gave me a left handed pitcher, scissors, measuring cup, and other things. He also saw to it that I wasn't forced to write left handed and NO, I don't turn my hand upside down to write. Just be glad you are able to do so many things, no matter what hand you used.

I'm a lefty too. Yea, left handed people are always in their right mind. He Hee I've never had any trouble being left handed. Worked in a factory for 33 years, and was always able to do any job that they put me on. I had to put my parts on the opposite side as every one else, but hey I got the job done. Same with any crafts that I do, crocheting, quilting, jewlery making, cross stitch, embroidery etc. I do them with as much ease as a right handed person.
Love the Elvis rug mug.

I'm not a lefty but my Dear Aunt was. She always complained because things were made for right handed people. Not any more, we have lots of things for left handed people. Even a very nice quilt teacher at the Missouri Star Quilt Co. Just take a look she's good and seems to be a really nice person.

P.S. Leave the block alone, I thought it was supposed to be that way since a table setting has the spoon on the right side.
