Lots Accomplished, Lots To Do
I’ve been trying to keep busy the last two weeks, gearing up for going back to work full time. Looking back, I think I’ve accomplished quite a bit.
1) While I didn’t meet my (somewhat unrealistic) goal of sewing 2 bags per day for two weeks. I did master my hidden zipper, try another altered design and finish 5 new bags. I’m working on another 3 that I hope to have done by the end of this next week.

2) I tweaked my original logo design and came up with the one you see in the header now. I like having the design element off to the side so I can use it on it’s own.
3) I made my labels, which I blogged about last time.
4) I bought a bunch of supplies, of course including fabric, to keep me busy for some time.
5) I made a pot holder, two pillows and a new ironing board cover.
6) Went snowboarding once.
7) Enjoyed some time with friends and celebrated my brother’s 30th.
8) Re-arranged the apartment and changed what was supposed to be my music studio into a sewing studio so I could get the sewing machine out of the dining room/living room.
The one big thing I didn’t complete yet, was setting up my Etsy shop. This will come in due time and I’ll just have to send out an announcement for everyone. And today, I’ve decided to take one final break and enjoy the sunshine in Seattle. I hope you are all having a great day (whatever day it is for you)!
Here’s a glance at some of the new bags that will eventually be on Etsy.
