Growing up, I was always the little girl with a stomach ache on the first day of school....actually I think I had a stomach ache all the way through college. I'm not sure why...probably because I worry myself too much about being good at things I have no experience at. Yesterday was my first day at Tex's place...and I was sitting at the sewing machine with a piece of brown leather with some wacky angles and curves...and I was sewing around and around and around...and I was wondering where the stomach ache was. It seemed like it would be a good place for one...you know, a kinda moment-o-truth-thing... Will Jennifer June like bootmaking???? Yesterday, Tex and I picked some brown leather and some yellow thread out of the pile. He showed me how to measure and cut out some patterns. I practiced stitching rows....and I measured Mrs. Robins' feet. (She's had her feet measured quite a lot.)
