That 'sewing bee' thing is something that the old women used to do when I was a little girl. They had like a club of ladies that enjoyed sewing, making clothes, doing needlepoint samplers, making quilts, that sort of stuff. They would have these contests to see which one of them got to talk crazy to the other ladies, in a very polite way, of course, until the next contest. It was an old-school country folks kind of thing.
That's what women did. Cook, sew, clean house, chase children. As far as sewing goes, I take suction to a whole new level.
I do all of that other stuff, and am pretty good at it, but, it's something I do, not who I am. Things are a lot better now than they used to be, though. The misogynistic troglodyte seems to be a vanishing breed.
And, the butterfly is a picture that I took while hiking in the mountains. He's SOOO pretty.
