Good New and Bad News



The good news is pretty fabulous. The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup last night - WAAA HOOOOO! I miss being in Pittsburgh so much at times like this - because of the incredible feelings of spirit that everyone shares. It was a wild play-off, but in the end, we won and the feeling is wonderful!


The bad news - well, it's sad for me. After 10 years in business, my favorite sewing shop, Sew Heavenly, closed it's doors today for the last time. I've worked there almost since they opened, but never considered it a "job" - it was fun, and a privilege to work there. I'm sure I spent more money there than I ever earned, and had a blast doing it. Some of us are going to try hard to stay together as a supper and sewing club, and I hope we do. I got so much inspiration and support from these women, and I don't want to give that up.

I know that when a door closes, a window opens and I hope that is true. But I don't deal well with changes - and this is a big one. I've got lots to do, especially sewing, and that will keep me busy for quite some time. And I'm sure I'll see many of the women at guild meetings, etc. But I will miss it.

I should go sew........
