More absence....  I am reading, writing and watching old films (in preparation for a 5000 word term paper about Katherine Hepburn and her reel life vs her real life); my sewing machines are quiet and lonely and gathering dust...  I must return to them pronto, maybe this weekend, yes, I will, I will sew something this weekend.  I'm tired, I'm sleeping badly, my new pc has gone away for its 2nd repair and I am preparing for 2 christmas shows - one here and one here    oh and I have had a new haircut :)

So yes, I am busy and hot and tired but mostly happy.

More soon....
