In the 80s

In my little world, everything I do is absolutely normal, normal and normal. But in the last 40 years, I experienced this strange glance of people..  is that girl/woman normal at all?

Let´s say I am .. me. The center of MY universe. Happy, sad, loving, caring. Obsessed by everything new, ideas, creativity. Normel, eh?

But after all these years doing completely normal stuff, I often tell someone about it, and notice the difference between my life and the life of all the others. Mine was and is, well... interesting. I don´t say yours is not. But I love mine, with all its good and bad moments.

And the older I become, the more coincidences unveil. For example I never can find what I am looking for, but I always find something. Not what I was looking for at this very moment, but what I was looking for a few days or even years ago. Sometimes I find things I am not even looking for. Colors matching something I actually work on, people behaving weird and exactly like me.

So often I thought I found a perfect match, a sister in mind. But I had to accept that I am unique, and from time to time I am alone. But I have fun with myself, so there is no problem in beeing alone, hehe. Even now and then I can make a friend smile. I don´t have to be with them all day for these special moments.

Why do I tell you all this nonsense? Today my daughter sent me a collage she has put together. One part is an old photograph of me, it must be over 25 years old. The other is a photograph as old as mine, and I bet you all know this lady. I adore her, love her voice, and to continue the coincidence, sometimes my voice sounds like her. Unfortunately not often enough, lol. Otherwise I could start a career in the music business.

I have so many more old stories to tell. Nothing interesting for a sewing blog, but I love to talk. And next time, I will talk about my latest journey to Scotland. I only had to step out of my back door, to be there. How this could happen, I will tell you next time.

This time, watch my past and how pretty I have been. Happy days, still lasting..... PS: I am the one on the right ;-)
