What is a surprise is when those treasures find a new purpose in life. The hotpads pictured above haven't exactly found a new purpose. They are still protecting my kitchen surfaces from roasty-toasty things. What they have found is purpose after years of neglect – a new purpose in their lives. It doesn't matter to me that they are inanimate objects, they still have lives. My great-aunt Helen made these, and part of her is in them. I feel the same way about the treasures in my sewing room. I may not have made the fabric, or beads, or threads, but I chose them. Part of me is in them, even if only a small way. After experiencing the joy of using these hotpads, I think I might try resurrecting some of my fabric collections and trying again to make the perfect project out of them. The only thing I will lose is the time spent experimenting in my studio. Luck and wisdom! | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
