{ Good Company }

Most of my days

are spent here in my sewing room...

computer work, answering emails, processing orders ~

and of course this is where I (mostly)
hook, punch and stitch.

 

I share this room with three loverly companions:

 

wire dress form, cage dress form & paper dress form

I affectionately call them

"Madge, Mildred & Maude"

 

Madge is the wire form ~
she has a very delicate disposition and gets nervous in thunderstorms...
she tends to be very shy & quiet.

 

 



the girls.

Mildred is the standing cage dressform.

She fancies herself a bit loftier than the others
and as so wants to adorn herself with jewelry and a silk top-hat.

Mildred has a tendancy to go on about herself...

much to the chagrin of Maude...

 

 



 

 

and, Maude.

dear plain Maude.

She is down-to-earth and grounded...

so very humble and always tries to offer help when she can.

 

 

standing near my sewing table ~ chattering away amongst themselves...
what could they be going on about now?

 

Do any of you collect dress forms?

((do any of you talk to them or am I the only one on the planet?))

it's ok...they keep me company and I love to think about

all of the sweet dresses

that were perhaps

created on

them...

 

from first-date dress ~

to prom dress ~

to wedding gown ~

to ~

... farm apron?

 

maybe a ric-rac-edged apron that may have had a pocket

that held a dainty hankie

or lost button or two?

or a shopping note reminding to purchase more thread or fabric from town ~

or a now-wilted flower picked by chubby little hands for his mother?

 

see what I mean?

...they do talk to me....

 

Have a beautiful eve my Friends ~
