One sequin at a time

"And now, I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time"
- Lady Gaga

When I see sequins, I think of my mom.

During my childhood fancy dress dancing days, she used to labouriously sew thousands of sequins on my costumes. She was really good at it; creating patterns, flowers, elaborate designs and I remember poring over every fine detail and feeling very loved.

Do you love sequins?

When I was a little I would collect them as they fell off the "big girl's" costumes at our dance recitals.
