I am moving away from following a pattern to the letter as if it were the recipie for success. My bag will be only the second or third thing I have ever made which has not been designed by someone else. In that respect, as well as perhaps in others, it will indeed be mine :) And I have reached a place in my life where I am for the first time happy that that is so. Whatever it ends up like will be ok and I am content to be 'good enough' in my own eyes and not to worry too much about what others think :) Are you joining us in the 'bags of fun' challenge?Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444352699222499640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11213280.post-1124150991318338062005-08-16T01:09:00.000+01:002005-08-16T01:09:00.000+01:00Way to go Jacqui!!!!!

Although in saying that I have always be drawn to embroidered things... Weird!!!! It is very difficult in this world not to see one's self on a linear scale of 'better than' or 'less than' - many people see the advantage of the journey only in the terms of the destination... O'how much do they miss - always expecting the completeion rather than than steps towards it... My own journey has been a haphazard one - infact a bit of me has been dragged kicking and screaming - lol.. Coming from a line of very fine art/craft people I was always considered, well - not in that vein of things... I accepted it for the most part but did feel 'outside of things' for a good many years...It is perhaps only in this lattter part of my life have I started to 'dip my toe' in the water' - so to speak... <BR/>My comment to you was about that your bag will be totally yours - something that came from an idea but has your individual stamp on it... Good on you J - again will follow your progress with anticipation...Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964691229955614154noreply@blogger.com
