How Many Attorneys Does It Take?
Take for what?
"Take to get a sewing machine to work."
That's what Se'Lah kept saying to me as we laughed out loud while trying to get my sewing machine working. I tried myself several months ago. Couldn't do it. My mom tried a few months later. Same thing.
Then luckily for me, Se'Lah, the blogger behind Necessary Room, found my blog through Grey Street Girl. We've been commenting on each other's blogs and started emailing too. Se'Lah saw that I quilted and said that she was a quilter too, but that she used a sewing machine. I told her that the only reason that I was quilting by hand was because I couldn't get my sewing machine to work. So she kindly offered to help me figure it out.
Yesterday we met and had a wonderful time. She's really funny, a wiz on the sewing machine, and has the coolest camera! And we realized that we went to the same school, but had never met before! What a small world!
Well, it took us a while, but we got the sewing machine going and I sewed my first stitches! Thanks Se'Lah!
Oh, and to answer the question, "How many attorneys does it take to get a sewing machine to work?" Well, I initially replied, "Hopefully not more than two." Because that was all that we had. But I just realized that if we count Grey Street Girl, who helped us find each other. Well, that makes three!

BTW, I mentioned you in my latest blog post! Hope you like it...
: )
I accidentally deleted your comment and I can't remember the name of the designer you mentioned! (Sorry!) If you get a minute (no rush), I'd love to know the name so I can check the fashion out...I have to say, I was in LOVE with Michelle Obama's Derek Lam white inauguration dress! I don't know if you saw it, but it was GORGEOUS...she looked awesome...have a great night!
;-). You must have thought to yourself: "is this rasta chic for real?".
But in the end, JAH provides. Glad to finally get you sewing. I look forward to seeing your creations.
One Love. ~ Se'Lah
