Today

I  love what I do.  I love my work.  Looking at inventory after the past weekend, I decided I needed to dye a few more scarves and make a few more small bags.  I am almost out of the ArtFul cloth zippered bags.  And so this a.m. finds me printing cloth.  I have 11 ready to stitch!

Killing time waiting for them to dry (actually, I’m taking a break), I was looking at my favorite pages on Facebook and came across something everyone might be interested in. Linda Matthews has gathered 250 free handbag and tote pattern links from across the web all on one page.  There are so many cute bags on there!  Now I want to make some just for fun.  I have added the link permanently to my sidebar under her name, but here it is too. Free patterns for purses and bags.

Are You Killing Your Talent?

I should blog today…but since I am in the middle of doing other things, I will just refer you to another blog to read.  I thought this article referred to in Linda Matthews’ post today was quite timely and informative.  Her post is here, titled “What Have You Learned From Your Dead Ends?”.  Towards the end of her post is the link to the article from Lateral Action I reference in my title.
