Sassy Sewing ~ A Lost Art
No way. At 15 years old, my friends had better things to do.
Such as driving behind the wheel with their freshly printed driver’s license permit. Now that was a good time.
Their idea of fun certainly wasn’t staring into the abyss of a sewing machine, listening to the helicopter noise it blurted out as my grandmother pushed down on her foot pedal, underneath her toes.
No ma’am. That was torture for my teenage friends. They’d rather watch paint dry.

Art. It’s an expression of creativity or imagination and spans all aspects of our lives from the visual and literary arts to music, theatre, dance and film. Art enhances everything we do through avenues like fashion, architecture or books just to name a few.
“One of the ways we encourage, promote, and support the creative arts in our county is the annual Art in the Park event,” said Hernando County Fine Arts Council Projects Coordinator Jan Knowles.
