I just finished this tote bag I’ve been working on for a couple days, and the process, I’ve learned something about myself. I get all excited about whatever I’m making, and by the time I’m finished, I want to keep it. This becomes a problem, because I really don’t need that many bags. So with a twinge of sadness, I’ve released it into the wild.

Make that two things I’ve learned. I also learned that I really enjoy adding pockets and snaps and flaps and all sorts of fanciness.

And finally, after I posted the bag, I noticed someone else had recently posted a new item, and it was hilarious. Four note cards, lovingly imprinted with the message, “suck it up cupcake.” I feel like I need these.
