Yeah, it just came to me in a flash (as a lot of my ideas do) that they were similar and once I started thinking about how, the idea for the post was born.Margay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-40168216894374056942011-01-27T16:56:22.069-06:002011-01-27T16:56:22.069-06:00Thanks, Carrie!

I think that's one of the things that can help to keep our writing fresh - when we can compare it to something else, we can get a different perspective on it and that really helps the writing process. it keeps my brain going!Margay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-87764729909930413182011-01-26T18:09:46.868-06:002011-01-26T18:09:46.868-06:00What a terrific post!

But it was probably because it was very personal to me and I am such a perfectionist, I didn't want anyone to see it until it was perfect.

I would love to get back to it one day, but the same applies, you start off with a blank canvas, then after stitching a bit, you might have to yank it apart and start over. In the end, you have a masterpiece worth hanging on the wall--or on a bookshelf as the case may be.<br /><br />Keep up the great work--knitting and writing.<br /><br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-41985254431647117732011-01-26T10:45:49.708-06:002011-01-26T10:45:49.708-06:00What a neat way to look at it.
