Wow. I have been on such a roller coaster of emotions lately. I know winter can sap your energy and some of your happiness, unless of course you love the cold! (I have a few crazy friends like that) The thing is, I am usually not one who can stay unhappy for long, even if things are not on the up side. But I feel myself staying in this state more often and I don't like it. I hope I can pull out of it soon, and I would be grateful for any positive energy or prayers you have to spare.
I won't be posting any pics today, but I have been working a little on my projects, and I am happy to report that the red bag with the white stripes is nearly finished! And I think the liner is going to turn out okay. At least, not horrible for one of my few attempts. I just don't know how visible the thread is going to be from the outside. The thread is a reddish orange, which matches the liner almost perfectly. But, the yarn I used is definitely a full on RED! I may have had a red hiding around here, somewhere, but I failed to think about going to look for it before I started this portion of the sewing... sigh. I know it is there and different, so I see it perfectly. I just hope it isn't very noticeable, or that it is not an issue when I sell it. OOOH! I did positive! I said "when" not "if"! That is surprising considering that is one of the things that is bringing me down. I don't have a lot of items in my etsy shop, nor do I have the money to really advertise it, so I hardly ever get any sales. Sometimes it makes me feel like I am not good at making things that people would be interested in buying...
Okay, this has been a bit therapeutic, so that's good. I gotta get to work now... I am super late for the second day in a row. Sigh. I will definitely have some photos for you next time. And it will be of finished products as well as some other items I am working on. Have a great day, everyone, and don't let the winter get you down, if you can! =)
