I rarely know where each day's blog will come from?
I have several blogs that I follow, not only intently,
but with joy and great anticipation.
This morning, as I drooled over John Arbuckle's post ...
( he's amazing, and always doing something terrific )
he showed a journal pouch with stitching,
but mentioned that it could be glued as well.
John mentioned a preference for the stitching,
and I found myself nodding in agreement.

Bingo! There's the idea for blog # 847.
I remembered my tiny sewing machine, just 8 x 9 inches.
A 50's color of green, plastic, electric & battery-powered!
I bought it years ago for $9.99 or $19.99 ...
at a Michael's or somewhere ...
thinking that it should be worth at least that much?
Also, acknowledging that my sewing skills didn't merit more.
I can hear you thinking, I bet it doesn't work!
Well, it does (they tell me).
It came with bobbins, extra threads and even tiny scissors
for whoever would deem to buy a tiny plastic sewing machine.
I have friend/artists who also use stitching and I LOVE it!
Just yesterday I received a "zine" in this handmade,
hand-stitched envelope from wonderful artist Connie Rose,
... look at what the stitching adds!
