It's almost as if it can't help itself :)
I met a novelist on Wednesday who wanted me to test-read her manuscript.
I was invited to an up-coming party.
I unexpectedly got a sale on 2 of my RTW dresses from 2 seasons ago!
It just keeps coming.
It will for you too.
Just keep those thoughts positive.
AND I've been getting ideas on my next pattern to develop.
After a hiatus spanning years.
Actually, it will be a whole series of patterns, based on a theme, for both women and children.
I can't wait to get started!
First though, I've got orders to finish....happy problems.
That doesn't stop me from sketching and jotting down notes and thoughts though :)
Gotta keep the momentum going, you know?
Today, I received a wonderful tip on how to keep the gloomies at bay.
....do at least 2 things each day that make you happy;
Sing in the shower, or while driving.
Go and run outside with your kids.
Sit in a cafe smelling the aroma of roasted coffee beans.
Anything that makes you happy.
For me, that's creating and making.
Drafting, sketching, writing.
...and singing off-key :)
What does it for you?
What 2 things could you do to make happy for yourself?
If sewing is your thing,
PDF patterns are still at $2 ;)

I started sewing at 9 years old. Yes, I was that child who cut old table cloths to make floral printed dresses for her stuffed animals. Two decades later, I quit a steady career in teaching to start my own business in the apparel industry. It's been a couple more decades and I can't seem to stop (yes, I have tried). So with a sense of joyous resignation, I continue to create custom clothing and patterns, and find time to teach drafting and sewing at my studio and online.

I'll tell you what 2 things I did today that made my day: wearing shorts in the 70-degree sunshine in NOVEMBER in Minnesota, and reading this post. Good to have you back, D! Mwah!
