Knot Sew Crafty: On Perfection

Hello!

Hi, I'm Alexis, wife of CMR, and mother of Beatrix, Willa, and India. Right now I'm not so crafty, but through my explorations of crafting, crocheting, sewing, cooking, gardening, printing, writing, photographing, and lots of other "ings," I hope to find my way to a craft that I love. I'm so glad that you dropped by. I hope you find something you like, and I hope you leave me a comment to let me know that you were here.

On Perfection

~~~~~~~~~~

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack in everything,

That's how the light gets in.

~Leonard Cohen

If you have a moment, go visit Amy of A Commonplace Life and read these two lovely posts about perfection as it relates to blogging. I wish I had Amy's gift for expressing my feelings so clearly and beautifully.

I shouted "yes!" when I read Amy's post. I, too, wish I was as eloquent!

For some reason, that quote brought tears to my eyes. Yes. And thank you for your kind words.

Hi Alexis! (It's Kris from CHG.) I was wondering if it might be okay to use your comment inquiry (on fat free recipes) as part of a new advice post. I'd pose the question, and readers would write in with more recipe ideas. Is that okay?

(I couldn't quite figure out e-mail on my Mac. Sorry about posting this in the comments!)

Oh, both Leonard and Amy put it so well. As do you.

I really love that quote; saved it for later. I also have loved Amy's posts and am enjoying seeing everyone's "moments".
