'Don't try to figure me out it will only exhaust you' are the words for this week. The theme on Art Journal Journey. has changed this week with Halley from 'Halley's hobbies' choosing 'I've got a notion' Now I love themes with anything to do with sewing, but as we are moving and my time is limited I have packed everything to do with sewing that would be of use in art journalling. Teeth grinding together as I write this. But I will do my best.
Sarah and Eva had been friends for a long time and Eva thought she knew everything about Sarah. When she went round to see her she was a bit taken aback by the fact that Sarah was sitting on the floor with what looked like fabric and yarn samples. Not even trying to guess what Sarah was up to she felt compelled to ask her. "Sarah, why do you have material and yarn samples on the floor around you?" "Well, I have decided to take up sewing and knitting and make my own clothes" replied Sarah. Not quite knowing what to say Eva asked her what was wrong with bought clothes ? "Well, they are all the same and you only get really well made ones if you pay a lot of money, and I don't have the money" Knowing that a sewing machine wasn't cheap and with fabric, threads and patterns it can't be much cheaper to make them Eva thought and said as much to Eva. "Well don't try to figure me out it will only exhaust you" Sarah replied.

Oh no. That is not working out with everything packed away. Usualy for me I have gotten rid of something and then realized I could use it for a challenge. But you did a great job of connecting your quote, story and page together. Thanks for joining Halle's challenge, and I hope your packing is going well. hugs-Erika
Love the story and the page!
I sew paper to paper, but I suspect even your sewing machine is packed. Still, you did a great job with the "fabric" and the quote. This is a great entry for Halle's theme at AJJ. Sorry I was pretty much MIA visiting in June.
Love that you made it work without your supplies! Very clever!!
Love your entertaining post and artwork! I love to sew too!
Oh! Well done! I love the story and your page looks great. Hope all is going well! Thanks for sharing at AJJ, hugs, Chrisx
