Seat angle could be better
I took a serger class at Sew Much More (Austin, Texas) earlier today. They provide these wonderful chairs for the students. I’d love have such a chair, but that won’t happen as long as I spend all my money on fabric!
Sewing Chair, so comfortable

Flowers that ignore its claim
Life laughs last, again
Life, death, life
A straight-on view is not such a good one for sketching. That’s not what I had in mind when I photographed the chair. The Samurai exhibit allowed photos without flash. I used a high ISO, which meant a slow shutter speed, which led to blurry photos as I could not keep the camera steady enough for a clear image. This chair photo is about the only exhibit photo I took that wasn’t blurry.

Going up?
I sit in Irene’s chair while she styles my hair. Soon she will be moving back to Ireland. (Sob!) I’ve known Irene about 25 years.
Her moving to Ireland might not be such a bad thing. I can visit, right? I’ll give her a little time to unpack and settle in before I show up . . . maybe a week?
