So you are interested enough to find out who the real person is!

I’m Connie.  Cornelia if you are a cop who caught me speeding, or the nurse who checks my blood at the blood donor clinic.

I am a farmer.  Have been for most of my life.  Most days find me in the barn in the morning, feeding, breeding and generally making sure that my animals are happy and safe.  The same days generally find me out visiting farms and checking on growing (or not growing!) crops, as I am also a crop insurance adjuster.  In the fall you can also find me on a combine, usually very dusty, but also very happy!

But the ME that I see, well that is different. I Sew. That’s what I do. I dream about sewing, I read about sewing.  I was meant to design, to create.   Actually a lot of people are surprised to know I sew.  People in our community who have seen me as president of this or that, acting on a stage or being a master of ceremonies. Or they have seen me at the feed mill in my coveralls.  “Oh you sew…” like sewing is not a real talent.  Until I show them what I sew.   Then their tune changes. “did you know that Connie SEWS!!”

 So that is what I blog about.  Sewing. 

Oh yes I also believe in love at first sight…
