Ancient Chinese Wisdom

We don't do fast food very often - a combination of fiscal prudence with health concern. Recently, we broke down and did a Chinese take-out night. I love fortune cookies (as well as all other forms of omen and divination) and I found mine quite appropos.
" We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are."
Hmmmmm. Of course, dear Sherri and Marcy (whom I miss) at my former place of employment, would have added, "in bed", but let's not go there...

Hi!

Welcome to the Seams Sustainable blog. This is an off-shoot of my home-based business, which is clothing design and munufacture, using as many recycled and upcycled materials and embellishments as possible. I also do custom sewing (costumes for dance and historical re-enactment, formal wear, wedding attire, etc.) and I give sewing lessons, including lessons in clothing repair - an essential sustainability skill. The blog will give me a forum to share some of these things with you, and will probably frequently digress into other topics that interest me (and I hope some of them will interest you, too!). Just a few of these interests are sustainable living, frugality, gardening, cooking, Pagan spirituality, jewelry making, paper crafts, quilting and creativity. I sound like a granola crunching Grandma Moses (well, ok, I do like granola!), but I'm actually just learning about a lot of these things, so if I "say" something that doesn't sound quite right, please join in the conversation and help me out here!
