Seriously the husband is in Kamloops at this moment begging me to move up there. I'm not yet convinced. I live outside of Vancouver and I think it's small townish. I lived in Toronto for years. I'm not a snob I just fear isolation from stuff. Thanks for replying.

Deep Space Nine is my favorite, I adore Avery Brooks. <br /><br />You are right, there is most definitely not enough fabric stores in Kelowna, four quilting shops (at least) and Fabricland 8-(. But that could easily be solved if you invested the massive difference between your house prices and ours in fabric from Dressew. <br /><br />Seriously though, Kelowna is notoriously difficult to settle into, its hard to find friends (unless you golf, no I'm not kidding). I had more friends in Whitehorse YT, after being there for a couple of months that I do after being here for over a decade. People can be really standoffish. Of course if you know people here, ignore all of this.<br /><br />IF I ever leave get down to the lower mainland, I would love to get together. I am a homebody, but Dressew is calling my name, so maybe soon..........ElleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656569539140359204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699461013172832165.post-11998365729287455582016-06-19T13:17:42.632-07:002016-06-19T13:17:42.632-07:00Ok!

I am a geek. I live in Pitt meadows Bc, one day we should meet up. My Husband is desperately trying to convince me we need to move to Kelowna. I'm not sure there is enough fabric stores up there though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878529035729438114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699461013172832165.post-80986303636261846892012-12-13T11:17:41.930-08:002012-12-13T11:17:41.930-08:00what a completely accurate description, complete w...what a completely accurate description, complete with video track. love it!puuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805880135471146120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699461013172832165.post-71140351989027208592012-11-27T18:42:56.640-08:002012-11-27T18:42:56.640-08:00Nope.

Usually it goes something like this:<br /><br />Phase 1: Inspiration & Enthusiasm - Everything is going to be amazing and yay!<br /><br />Phase 2: Sourcing materials - Everything is still fun because you get to look for fabric! Except sometimes the fabric takes so long to show up you lose interest and move on to another project.<br /><br />Phase 3: Finally settle on a project after enthusiasm for various projects rises and falls due to laziness or lack of fabric or whatever. This is still fun and exciting because it is still in the planning phase.<br /><br />Phase 4: Actually start working on the project - this is the boring stuff like cutting out the pattern that I don't like to do and I drag through this phase. Boring but still ok.<br /><br />Phase 5: Realization of imperfections - this is when all decisions like choice of pattern, fabric, and fit alterations get questioned and it feels like the entire project is pointless. Eventually you decide to just get on with it so you can move on with your life.<br /><br />Phase 6: The mad dash to the end - n a bout of sewing craziness you stay up all night to finish, except the hem.<br /><br />Phase 7: The gestation period - whatever it is sits around for 5 days because you don't want to hem it. Eventually you hem it and wonder why it was sitting around for 5 days. At this point it is either a success or a failure, and life is either amazing or tragic. <br /><br />Phase 8: Creative Exhaustion - you sit around and ponder what to do next. Eventually the cycle repeats.<br /><br />So, um, yeah. I totally get what you are saying.<br /><br />Also - Dead Like Me! Woo!T.
