hi everyone - happy valentines!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend - I spent my sunday evening watching the grammy's - I havn't watched that show since forever and it wasn't too bad - yeah bob dylan and arcade fire. I spent the weekend working and wishing for warm weather - day dreaming of not wearing layers and layers of clothes. I finished a prototype for a hand tote and when I photographed it next to john it looked small and when I hold it - it's closer to what it should be in scale, but still like the photo of john holding it. I also worked on some new gusset pouches that I will photograph today and show you tomorrow - a request from one of our stockist and it's a style I've done before and will make extra for our shop and for the upcoming spring show. I also printed some coin envelopes to put seedlings in to give to customers at the ooak show. I'm not much of a gardener and was hoping you would have suggestions on seeds that are not too difficult to plant. the other image I included is a love note from my lil p - I swear that shape in the top corner is a heart - am I just projecting? I hope today you will be filled with LOVE - I don't think you need today to be reminded of that - but it's a good excuse. I find that sometimes there are times you feel that you need to concentrate on bad things that happen and it can bring you down or make you do stupid things, I think in the end positive energy and thoughts is what gets you through things, not negative energy - I believe in the theory that when you project positive thoughts and energy - it also comes back positive. I feel now that I am approaching forty (did I just say that?) - that I am over the high school drama that some people out there project. we're all adults here and there needs to be positive things around us (isn't there enough bad things out there?) - so grab someone close squeeze them hard and tell them you love them. this blog world is a virtual world where you find friends and enemies and I think we should stay in the real world. if I didn't make any sense that's okay.

have a wonderful day friends xxa
