Well the weekend flew by so fast and as usual I didn't get all the stuff done that I had planned. I am also busy convincing my middle daughter to model for me so that my items going into the Etsy shop will be shown on someone - makes them look nicer. She does NOT like to have her photo taken and this may become a bribe issues. So now I am wondering what does she want that would make her model for me.....Anyways I did work on the bookmark pattern and now am wondering how do I make them so that they fit multiple books and not just the one book that was measured for this bookmark - elastic sounds too cheesy and cheap - but the pattern that I worked out works fine, even in a paperback. I found this quite pleasing. Also worked on organizing the studio and am making progress. Even got the stuff together for the ebay shop and will photo and list that stuff for posting on friday.

I keep dreaming about the someday when I can quite my day job and while browsing on etsy found several articles on people who have been able to do just that. WOW would that be a dream come true!! Now don't get me wrong I like my job - I'm a social worker in a clinic for people with disabilities and while the work is great and rewarding it also comes with a huge stress load due to the nature of the folks that I help and work with. Their lives are complicated by so many factors - anyways it would be 'loverly' to work on just the sewing and other crafts that I love to do.
