Me VS Sewing Pattern

The thing about working with

sewing patterns is that they tell

you how to make something...and they

tell you what it supposed to look like

after you are done.  But while you're making

it, you have no idea what if what you

are making is going to look like

what its supposed to.

But, when you make it all yourself...

yeah, you don't have any help

because only you know what

it supposed to look like...and no one

can tell you you're doing it wrong, because

you're making it.

Trekking into new territories of possibly

pattern making...we'll see.

Organize, Organize, Organize

Working on getting my fabrics together,

getting my work area together

and then start on dresses.

Always scarry doing something

you've never done before...

but that's life right?

We can't always have someone

holding our hand...

Plus, I'm open for error...sigh!

Shop Established

Balance is key.  I don't know how I did it, but I actually found time to do my craft.  Between working, cooking, washing dishes...there's a small window of time where I can do what I need to do.
It took a little while to find, but I'm really glad I did.  It feels so good to finish things that we started.

Looking forward to Saturday's event.
Hope to see you there.

Word of the week

Perseverance

per·se·ver·ance

[pur-suh-veer-uhns] Show IPA

–noun

1.

steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.

2.

Sometimes...

When we undo and redo...

You find that it's not that hard

after all.  It was easier

than you thought it would be.

Forward we go...one purse down

and one to go.

Sometimes we are better than we think we are.

It's okay to challenge yourselves...

it may be not be as hard as you think.

Logic vs Art

I start with my vision,

what I want and how

I want things to look...

then logic gets in the way.

Reasons why it can't

work that way...or why

 I have to undo and then

redo...S I G H S ! ! !
