@Alastair – thanks so much for the kind words and beautiful ideas, such a beautiful comment to receive. You’ve given me something to think about :)

Karina, thanks so much for having me write a guest post!

I must apologize to all for my delay in response, it took me a couple of days to settle back into life after the holidays and my trip. Back to writing soon. Thanks again for all the kindness!
Alana ´s last blog ..The New Year’s Eve Dress

A “seamstress” is far more than the term. As this writing hints. She may be joiner of separate identities. The mender of ideas. The cutter of taste in ANY sphere.

The sewn product is her way to express love, loyalty and other value. A needle is her metaphor.

What else does “sew” mean? What else can be threaded onto the needle? Pearls of happiness? Smiles. Who checks crooked seams when there is lovability around? It is primarily lack of confidence. Ability has been proved. Perhaps the danger is being narrowed by a chosen label. That can be scary. The solution is to walk through the walls of the prison.

Anyway, thank you Alana for a revelation.
