Talent is there, undoubtedly, but there is a fair amount of hard work; hours and hours of doing and undoing.
Chrystel and I would like to thank you all for your nice comments on her work, and for the kind wishes for our 10th. anniversary.
When I translate to Chrystel all of them posts saying how lucky of a man I am, she smiles and says (in French…):
“If they knew how many risks you took, we both took and are still taking, choices we have to make and how much energy we both put into this, I would rather use the word fortunate instead of lucky.”
Anyhow thank you all,
Robert

yes, I can tell. I was being quite serious, too, the techniques she uses are becoming lost knowledge. I've been searching for somewhere to learn traditional hand tailoring, but it's quite a challenge.

"Lucky" is a risky win on the roulette table. "Fortunate" is following your heart and winning happiness. Both are risky but I think you know which one you have. Good luck to you both and fortune in your enterprise.

A woman of wisdom, too!
Congratulations to you both!
