I’m not a craftsy person at all. It holds no interest for me, and never has – which is the main reason why I quit Girl Scouts (well, that and the whole “where are my freakin’ wings?” debacle).
But I caught a glimpse of a wall of ribbons through a shop window, and I was completely captivated by the sight. In the same way that I literally get NERVOUS sometimes when I walk into an overflowing second-hand book store, I can imagine that a person really into arts and crafts could conceivably have a nervous breakdown looking at something like this.
So beautiful.
You’re right. I’m drooling.
I bet!!!
That line is from “Hello, Dolly!”
My MIL is an excellent seamstress. Every time I watch Project Runway and see Mood, I think to myself that she would have a heart attack if she ever got to go in there.
Lisa – My sister got her wedding dress in a wedding shop right across the street from Mood!
it always makes me wonder if they (the Project Runway people) have to go there in the middle of the night, in order to have the store to themselves.
This is going to sound really weird, but for some reason, that picture makes me nervous.
Like….what are ya nervous about Alex? Are the big, bad spools gonna get you?
Oh God. My heart.
Alex – hahahahahahaha
There is some sort of … expectation … coming off of those spools, isn’t there?? Like they really expect you to step up and … DO something about it.
It is a little overwhelming to me, like I look at it and say “Too much!” and I panic a little, and I could give a shit about ribbons. This could probably be used as some sort of Rorschach test.
Dear David and Alex:
Mitchell and I were convinced that you two would absolutely LOVE each other when you finally met. And, of course, you did.
Your responses to the wall of spools really goes a long way towards explaining why we knew you two would click.
Anyone I pee in front of is my new best friend. That’s my motto.
I’m wanting to go visit that store,.. and like right now. My God. (one of my favorite parts of visiting NY is walking by all the fabric, notions stores and dreaming.
OK. My desire to go there now MAY have something to do with currently costuming a HS production of Beauty and the Beast…
I’m completely useless. I look at that picture and all the beautiful colors of ribbon and have NO fucking clue what to do with it!
It’s funny; mass quantities of ribbon do not overwhelm me but if you put me in one of those legendary NYC button shops, I’d probably suffer a synaptic meltdown.
I have been known, upon entering a quilt shop or a fabric shop, to develop tunnel vision for a few minutes. I think it’s some kind of defense mechanism to keep my brain from shorting out.
oooh that is pretty..if it was yarn I think I’d pass out
