Very creative touch coming from a very active mind, write on....

Be always safe,

Karla, I have a hunch that you sew (as you write) to
a different drummer. -gene.

Oh my... memories came flooding (not thundering or stormin') to my own Home Ec days... cheez... the dumb "Egg Apron"... had to have mom sew it..looked wonderful..then I got a D...barely passed! and mom had a hissy fit..."how dare Ms G give HER SEWING a D!"... well...Ms.G said she KNEW I didn't sew it...:-)) and when I asked WHY the D? She smiled and said..."Your mom may sew well, but she don't know nuttin' about "eggs"....the pocket was too smooth, too flat...and eggs would have smushed!!!!! so much for cheating...duh.. I was famous for not being very home Ec anyway... :-)) great writing Karla... so cute and brought back memories... lindalaw

Karla, you're quite a gal! Cute poem. Love Holly

Keep sewing Karla for you do so well, it will fit someone. Great write. Love, Bonnie

...oh, well. That McCall could never get things just right anyhow. I'm sure your rendition, Stormspinner, was MUCH more creative. :) --Charlie

You made me smile, Karla... I loved your story of the jumper as the review on my last Ogress poem too... Made me laugh and laugh!!

Love the imagery in the first two stanzas of this...

love,
Cryssa

Enjoyable reading and write

Peace & love be with you

You put a smile on my face dear. Thank you so much for your thoughts and concern. lotsa' love, B

Karla,
This takes me back to when I made a skirt in Home Ec. Oh my, I am not a seamstress and had a HARD time with that skirt. To this day I don't care for sewing! Enjoyed this , Karla!

Blessings,

Karla, this made me smile. It made me remember my high school home ec project. We all had to make a simple, sleeveless dress. My mother bought me the most beautiful material. You should have seen it when I was finished! I can't even begin to describe the disaster it turned out to be! Thanks for bringing back a long forgotten memory!

It sounds as if you and I were spun from the same Home Ec cloth. I was the bane of my teacher's existence. Completely inept as a seamstress! Fortunately I excelled at cookie making and that saved my grade.

very creative--enjoyed!

I like this one and it does bring back memories of seeing my sisters with Mom sittin at the kitchen table with her old Singer, also of my first project in metal shop (a dust pan that looked like some kind of murder implement). But you know what, the kids today are missing the chance to learn a lot of the skills that came out of those classes. They taught a lot of the basic life skills, if you chose to go further it was then up to you. Anyway another great one Karla that I am sure awoke a lot of memories in people our age.

Hell, I can't even sew on a button, fortunately Rene is very handy in that direction owning a few different sewing machines and such...e

Karla~

This is brilliant! So you can't sew material or build a house; you sure can sew up a poem that brings a combination of humor, nostalgia, frustration and your unique StormSpin on things. Very well penned/imaged; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

3:47 p.m. in the piccy?? Looks like the middle of the night!! WOW!!

Lol! Not everyone is inclined to sew. You made this a real live story that I can see you frustrated and struggling to get that done! Love it!, Karla!

Hugs~~your Texas friend

Sounds like you and I are in the same terms with Home EC LOL, I sewed my finger in the machines, and sewed the legs together on the shorts, not my class LOL, Nonna taught me to sew with a needle and thread but never on a machine
