I forgot you had asked me these questions, Lena. Well, I did most of my art when I was younger in my twenties. I made drawings, as well as paintings. Most of them I destroyed, though. I wanted less of that as I grew older. I felt like I was dreaming too much, and not tending to the business of living. As I grew older, I found I had less to say, and therefore, less to draw. It’s been so long since I’ve done that, that it’s almost foreign to me now…lol. As far as my skill, I was average, I think. I had hoped to be better one day, but I got involved in business and left it behind. I thought perhaps one day I would do it again, but that day hasn’t come yet. You’re right that my skill helps me be a better embroider. The skill does have its advantages at times…
