Huge Bowls : The Poppy Grove

I think I have done it.  I quit my job.  My dreams of sewing more and more are coming true.  I find now that my biggest hurdles now are balancing time with my family and time at the machine.  But really, when you are struggling to balance life between two things you love, there really is no struggle.

Today I am going to work on some little handheld bags.  They are marketed as "hamburger bags" and I simply detest that name.  Well see what I come up with.  I have some to die for moustache fabric that I cant decide what to do with.  I am tempted to make one large bag with it.  My original plan was to make a bunch of tiny bags.  Well see what I get around to.

It has been almost 2 months since I quit my job.  I did it with a weeks notice.  I am still reeling.  I haven't felt the permanence fall over me yet.  After all, I have spent the last 2 winters at home convalescing from surgery.  I suspect that when spring rolls around all of this will seem real. 

I really do need to start work on my projects for my little shop.  I think I have something akin to writers block.  I have piles of beautiful fabric and I hate to see it go.  Plus each fabric piece has unlimited potential when uncut and then suddenly becomes limited when I cut into it.

My satisfaction from my creations comes from seeing my customers reactions to those creations.
