please tell me you posted them at BPS and that I said something there…

I posted Lost and Found there in 8/04 but I don't think you were a member yet. Never posted Jealous there since it's NC-17. I am very happy to know you enjoyed them both! And I was so happy you ran across this, I believe it must have come out of that discussion we had about sewing, way back when.

while she *could* sew, she hated it, and that her sampler(s) would have had splodges of blood on the edges from where she'd blotted her finger sticks.

I think this is very likely, when she was a girl, but here she's been happily married to Will for the last five years and has learned all sorts of things, including the fun of taking care of someone you love, and creating beautiful things.

Thank you so much for reading, and for your thoughtful comments.
