Never in my life would I have thought that I'd be here, but the world has changed so much that it's impossible to know where we will be in a few years from now.  One thing for sure is that we need to stop and consider our priorities.  For some it will become an even faster and more technologically advanced world, for others, it will mean going back to the small town close to the land, and for others, some sort of combination of the two.  I guess we as a family have chosen the third one, and in doing so we've seen that the learning curve is indeed steep and we find ourselves working from the very early hours to the small hours of the night with some relaxed times in between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Embroidery is my relaxing time, a way to slow down and recharge.   I love listening to one of my favorite books: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3tz7g88\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3tz7g88\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A World Made By Hand by James Howard Kunstler<\/a>.  I encourage you to read it or listen to it.  In the scenario painted by the author, you and I will be the tailors a very important job when trade and commerce all but disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no chili in Chile by the way.  I found that the spiciest thing here is a thing called Merken used in red meat before putting it in the barbecue.  The food in Chile is in fact mild-tasting almost as the Castille region in Spain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where in the world is Chile?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Chile is located at the very end of South America flanked by the Andes mountains chain and Argentina to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, Peru, and Bolivia to the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Chile-map.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68726 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Chile-map.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Chile-map-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Chile-map-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Chile-map-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Chile-map-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Chile-map-250x167.jpg 250w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px;

One stitch will serve as a base for the others, one that will guide the eye upwards and one that will crown the design.  The possibilities are endless and encourage you to find a design that appeals to you.  Mine comes from a combination of a table cloth on an Indian painting that is more than 200 years and a weed.   I am not sure the name of the weed, perhaps someone who knows can post in the comments, but it is everywhere, and it grows a very large spiky flower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_2195-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67717 lazyload\" width=\"579\" height=\"434\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_2195-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_2195-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_2195-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_2195-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_2195-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_2195-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_2195-250x188.jpg 250w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 579px;
