Projects for Friends

I don't really have too many girlfriends, nor do I have a close community of friends who sew--it's pretty much me and my mom, though my female relatives pretty much all sew.  Regardless, I'm not someone who has that community supporting me: I don't attending guild meetings or bees, and there isn't a LQS in DC to greet me with open arms.  Nothing in DC greets me with open arms.

In Response to Girlfriends

Things have been heavy around here, at least to me.  What's up with that?  Wouldn't you all rather just read about fabric or something?

Anyway, go here today and read about a woman in my predicament: no girlfriends.  I came across this entry in my Google Reader this morning and thought, "YES.  THIS."  Because we don't have any friends here and, while I've never been a girlfriend girl, it was always nice to have someone to shop with, someone who doesn't spend 45 minutes looking at beer glasses in Crate & Barrel.

I've never met the woman who writes that blog--can't even recall her name, honestly--and we're in very, very different places in our lives, but sometimes people just get you.  And it's nice to know I'm not the only one trying to figure out how to make friends in a grown-up world.
