On my trip to Hong Kong, I bought three shirts. In my recollection of my collection, the colors were orange, pink, and blue. I was thinking of the orange shirt and couldn't remember when I had last seen it. I recalled it as being pure orange, much like the skin of a mandarin.

I have written a beautiful piece that I'm absolutely gagging to share with you.
I wrote it with a couple of people in mind and finished it a few weeks ago. I wonder if they can recognise themselves...

Sewing is meditative, mentally stimulating (usually includes simple math) gets you in touch with your body (you have to fit it to yourself) and stimulates the creative part of the brain. It's ego building and relaxing... what's not to like? And guess what? Guys do it too.
