I wrote an article about writing my left-handed book &#8211; &#8220;The Left-Handed Embroiderer&#8217;s Companion&#8221;! I submitted it right at the beginning of our time in Addis, so I had since forgotten about it. I read it through, and I&#8217;m pretty sure someone&#8217;s cleaned it up, because they&#8217;ve used words that I wouldn&#8217;t think of using!

Sounds like a fun topic &#8211; I&#8217;d love to read some of the entries, but I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll never have the chance!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Shhh&#8230; If you want to tell me some here, I won&#8217;t tell anyone!
