I really loved hearing about your life intruding in your dreams in such a way.<br /><br />When I'm stressed, I dream about places that feel safe to me, like my childhood home, or the home of my best friend growing up. I also have that dream where it is mid-terms and you haven't been to class all semester and the big history (or math) test is today and you can't remember the combination to your locker (although why they have lockers in college, I'm not sure). Or, I'm in some sort of locker room, with rows and rows and rows of stalls and lockers and I can't find a clean one to change in. Weirdness.<br /><br />Well, anyway, you'll get the hang of paper piecing. I find it very tedious, but love the results that you get! Can't wait to see your project!<br /><br />xo -ElElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-86683414546459653282011-04-06T08:16:29.195-05:002011-04-06T08:16:29.195-05:00I have a GPS...and before I did I was always lost....I have a GPS...and before I did I was always lost. <br /><br />When I first started paper piecing it was so confusing and frustrating to me.

The gps is great but when you rely on it too much, you don't learn where you are. <br /><br />My niece has trouble with left and right so I have to say this way and that way and point.

Now I say turn your way or turn my way, so he quits getting lefts and rights mixed up.

I like to use the GPS just going into Nashville even though I should know my way around better by now. It's comforting in a weird way:) If we're in unfamiliar territory, we both like it!<br />Good luck with the paper piecing! The videos would be my salvation.Vicki @ DottyJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654184428262038009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-4844724487649166432011-04-05T10:47:18.503-05:002011-04-05T10:47:18.503-05:00Um, I think I meant East instead "of West&quo...Um, I think I meant East instead "of West" is usually how my end of the conversations went. ;o) Now that I do all the driving, we just go my way and get there when we get there.
