Never thought I'd advance to this state of writing my thoughts on a computer vs. a journal. But life is all about the learning moments. I hope my blog will be an interesting journey of my sewing adventures and my life events. I have lived a life that can seem to some a contradiction in many ways.
On one hand, I am a totally devoted wife and mother. I learned all the domestic skills and love them. I love the simple crafts generally associated with women. I am quite skilled at embroidery, cross stitch, crochet, and sewing. Plus I love to cook, and bake.
Yet, I totally believe women can be anything they want and am angered when limits are placed on women. I entered the Air Force at 19 years old as one of the first women in the Avionics field. I served 20 years. I've never had a traditional job. Life might have been easier for me, but I liked the challenge.
On one hand, my job and life requires that I be a public and outgoing person. I have to teach classes and mix with all sorts of people. I am an essentially a shy person and so when I go to work, I actually role play what I think a person who is outgoing should be like. But when I'm home, I like sewing, reading, and spending time with my family. I'm not much for going out and socializing.
So you see some of my contradictions. I just see that these are characteristics that make me interesting. Hopefully you will see that I have some unusual points of view and thoughts to share.
