Mrs. R. from church asked if I would fix a fur coat a friend had given her a while back. I've never sewn fur before but it turned out well - and I was even able to find propper coat clasps online to replace the missing ones!
A friend from church invited Mom and me to go see some tapestries from South America that were on display in a near by town. They were so detailed! It was amazing all the work these women put into them, and each one told a story about the maker. Something about their life, or something they were hoping for etc.
