Now that it’s winter, we stay home a lot more and I spend time doing activities like knitting, sewing, or playing on my guitar. One night I watched a video of a leatherworker doing alterations on a handbag for his customer. It got me inspired. I had a bag I wanted to do an alteration on. I was so excited that as soon as I woke up the next morning, I starting taking apart the lining on my Michael Kors “Jet Set” tote bag. I bought this bag years ago when it was really trendy at the time, hoping that it would be a bag I’d use a lot. But instead, it sat in my closet most of the time, because I found the bag too heavy. There is a padded pocket divider in the bag lining meant for carrying laptops. It was taking up too much space in the bag. Otherwise, it was a great bag. I decided to rip out the laptop pocket and sew it back up.<\/p>\n

I was curious to hear what was happening on the other side with P while I’m working on stuff like this. I know he is always with me, but what is he up to? I recorded EVP to find out.<\/p>\n

Some of these clips are harder to hear because there is the noise from the sewing machine in the background. I tested it on my laptop speakers and I can still hear it, but I recommend headphones for a better listening experience.<\/p>\n

I was surprised to hear P say, “Take a picture”<\/strong>. Was he snapping a pic of me working, or something else? It still boggles my mind to know that they have technology over there. But then again, my dreams are filled with technology. I remember dreams where I am using a camera to take photographs. Why would it be different over there?<\/p>\n

I could hear that there were others with him. He told them, “We’re sewing”<\/strong>.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Were-sewing-2019-12-20-1200.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

He explained to them, “Took the lining out”<\/strong>.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Took-the-lining-out-2019-12-20-1200.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Someone there offered to make P a smoothie. P said he wanted raspberry flavour. They made him one and said, “Raspberry”<\/strong>.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Raspberry-thank-u-2019-12-20-1200.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

They seem to be able to do all kinds of activities over there, and it seems to come about quickly, which leads me to think that things are done through thought and imagination.<\/p>\n

I decided to rip out the original Michael Kors bag charm on the handle and replace it with this Prince Love Symbol charm that I got by mail order from Paisley Park.<\/p>\n

After taking out the lining, I can happily say that I am getting much better use out of the bag, as the interior is more spacious without the divider. I can throw everything in quickly and go.<\/p>\n
