Introduction	I'm a long time avid recycler, re-maker, re-purposer and re-user who has suddenly found herself with both the time to pursue those interests and ideals and in a time where the rest of the world seems to have gotten the message. I left my job in 2002 due to medical disability but have no interest in defining myself by my maladies. I'd much rather focus on my children, my friends and the latest challenge of my pursuit of sewing for myself and others.

All of the phone numbers have fallen out of your address book. Whose number do you look for first and why?

Christine's - she is my oldest and best friend and would most worry if I was not on the line
