Who Are You?

15-12

I remember how I, when I was a teenager, started many days thinking about who I was. I stood in the shower, decided that that day was the first day of the rest of my life, and tried to decide what kind of person I wanted to be that day. A decision that I forgot as soon as I met with my friends and started chatting away and having fun, but still, it was a nice little romantic pleasure for me, every time again.

It took some years before I realized that people can't be defined in just a single word. People are not sweet all the time, not angry, good, bad or fun in every imaginable situation. Nobody is only a mother, an employee, a singer or a crook. Luckily, I'd say, because that's what makes interacting with people so interesting and fun.

Anyway, even though it's probably just as impossible to take a picture that completely depicts a person's being, this picture (that Chris took this evening) does show a couple of aspects that I would mention if one would ask me to describe myself in words:

Mama. Sewer. Constantly looking for something that I placed somewhere and forgot where. Loving fashion, especially skirts and high heels. Oh yes, and mama ofcourse. :-)

Could you describe yourself in a few words?

    That's a great picture for describing yourself. Mine would be in front of the sewing machine. Or with knitting needles. My top two answers would be exactly yours -- Mama and Sewer. Sadly the boys are too big now to be underfoot! ;-)

    I agree, I am mama and sewer. I do all my cutting on the living room floor when the family is watching TV, when the kids are in bed I prefer to sew than do anything else. I am also quiet and shy, and forever wanting to be happy in the moment, I find that hard!

    I love this post! A few words to describe me would be: daughter, sister, mother, wife, granmomma, teacher, friend, sewist, writer, etc..... I guess that's more than a few, but most of us to wear lots of hats!

    Obsessive sewing mama here, too... with a bit of (crafty) business and computer obsession thrown in.... oh, and teacher, patternkamker... swimmer and wishing-for-time-to-do-yoga dreamer. The list goes on.... but it mostly involves sewing and being a mother.

    Obviously NOT a speller.... That was meant to read "PATTERNMAKER".
