A bit late, I know! All right, life back to normal. It's snowing again and hopefully it will stop soon. All these days I've been working on new bags. They all have quilter's batting in between the layers for softness. Some mistakes I did, but fortunately I can fix them without problems.
How about 2008? Resolutions? Yes, some. I hear that if we write down our resolutions, it's better, but in my case, I will forget to look at them, I know, I will. My mom used to say that I lived in the "land of the moon" all the time, because I don't pay attention to things that....errrr, do not interest me very much. It's true. In high school all the girls used to seat at the same huge table to chat. Ha! I was always somewhere else. Maybe I can use my inspiration board for it, write some big red words to catch up my attention. What do I want? Confidence, more positive thinking, more skills, time management (guilt free), lots of inspiration...anything that pushes me foward will be great and I want peace, love with the family and hopefully, no more weirdos after me! Weirdos, please get a sewing machine! I tell you, it's good.
2007 was a calm year, although I had many of my mood swings bothering me, lack of motivation in the beggining, but in the end, I was just fine. I can't complaim. It was a good year. I have my kids, my family together and that is what matters.
Here are the bags I just finished this week...
The green + grey bag it was made with a piece of Scotland wool sweater that I wasn't going to wear it anymore, and instead of giving it away, I cut it in pieces. So, I came up with the idea of making a bag out of it. It was delicious to make it, the idea worked out pretty well and it's on my Etsy shop. You will notice different prices. Yeah, I had to do it. I put more than 5 hours on each of these bags and I am not even counting the time I spend shopping for supplies and taking photos and uploading them to the websites I use. If people like, if people love it, they will buy it. This is being a great experience. I am not really worried about it, the story of making money from home is great, but it's so complex. It demands a lot from me and I am still learning a bunch of stuff. If happens, I will be glad and it will motivates me even more. I think this is just the little beggining...maybe...
I was reviewing the year of 2007 with photos. I think I do better if I put together a photo gallery to work as a subdomain, I mean, another web page besides the blog. I do it later.
Have a nice weekend and thanks for all the messages, all the kindness last post!

We do have much of the same similar thinking, the two of us you know. I also want "Confidence, more positive thinking, more skills, time management and lots of inspiration".
And particularly Confidence!!Confidence in my work..
And you are right, kids, family and friends, that`s what matters :)

My daughter has a friend who is always daydreaming in the "land of the moon." His mom bought him a funny t-shirt & you should have one too maybe Zee. It says, "Lost in space... send search party!"
Have a happy day! You make the most beautiful things. I love to stop by here and see all the pretty colors!!!
Hi Z, I didn't have time to comment last time I visited your blog, but here I am...
I'm glad you've been spending time doing things you enjoy and with your family, that's what really matters.
I wish you a great new year, surrounded with lots of inspiration and creativity, health, love, peace, accomplishments and good times.
I've been wanting you call you to chat a bit but it's been hectic with my mom visiting us, we've been busy lately but I'll keep in touch.
Have a great weekend!
