\"sashiko-demo\"<\/p>\n

I’m no expert at Sashiko stitching, so it’s a little laughable that I’ll be teaching the craft this Saturday, but I’m rolling with it.\u00a0It’s a FREE event, Seattle friends, if you want to drop on by the Kinokuniya Bookstore<\/a> at 2pm on June 11th. I’ll be joined by my writer\/editor\/journalist friend Tamiko<\/a>. Imagine a cooking demo, but with indigo fabric and Sashiko thread and needles instead of food– that’s the concept we’re working with, anyway. We’ll be making coasters and I think it’ll be sweet and casual and fun. I hope. I suppose it could also be weird and awkward and dull, but we’re all optimists here, right?<\/p>\n

Copies of Sewing Happiness<\/a> will be available and I’ll be doing a signing as well. I’m curious to see how it goes!!<\/p>\n

As you can tell from my last few posts, I’ve been flitting about like an industrious bird, pecking away at my massive to-do list. But guess what?? After this Saturday, I am going to be so<\/em> relaxed. I may not even post anything on this here blog for the next month\u00a0to experience what it feels like to be completely disconnected from the internet\u00a0and off the grid (we all know that would never happen; I’m too much a creature of habit). Anyhow, my big deadline has been met, I have virtually nothing on my calendar, and I\u00a0can actually feel my innards\u00a0decompressing. It’s glorious. Sewing might actually happen!!<\/p>\n

Just a little more prep work to do for the Saturday event — be back Friday.<\/p>\n
