Sorry to hear your sewing machine is broken. For years sewing provided me with hours of comfort from the stress of real life.

There are several people here who write or attempt to write poetry. They post in creative. Have a look sometime. There are several different levels of skill posted there.

Why is it things seem to snowball and all land on us at once. I asked a friend just the other day if I had a bull's eye painted on my back. Being the good friend she is she also offered to try and hit it so I would know where it was.

Hope things get better for you real soon.
