Treasure Hunt: My Big Adventures with a Pincushion
It all started on a gloomy winter afternoon, not long after lunch. I was feeling restless. Deep down, I was yearning for an Adventure.
But like a good girl, I betook myself to my studio to work.
Now, I know most people wouldn’t consider embroidering while listening to good music or an audiobook work, and I don’t, really, either. But it is what I do for a living, and there are days when it seems a little less than adventurous.
With the winter sky forcing its grey light through the windows, I sat silently in the half-gloom.
An Adventure! said I to me. You need an Adventure!
Suddenly, the sun broke through the clouds. It’s rays slanted across my work table. With an angel choir swelling into sweet song in the distance, the light glinted on the needles protruding from my Ubiquitous Red Tomato pincushion.
And next to the tomato was a pair of….
scissors!
