So... since last we "spoke" we've been hard at work finishing up our new pattern, the Elsie K Baglet. But here's the deal.. between the time we bring our pattern components to our printer & the time we pick up our finished product, there's always an inevitable pause, & its during that time of waiting that I usually try to work on something completely different. Prior to the Gemini FlightBag release I wallpapered my powder room, but this time I used this downtime to work on a project I've been considering for some time now... that being, a convertible strap for the Sling Along pattern that would allow it to be BOTH a sling bag AND a backpack! And today, I'm so pleased to be able to say... BOTH are ready for you to enjoy! Click HERE to see the new strap option for the Sling Along, then scroll down for information about the Elsie K Baglet pattern release!
So it's a great day!

Why Do We Not Compliment People More? Mark Twain once noted that “the happy phrasing of a compliment is one of the rarest of human gifts.” Compliments are the easiest way to make other people – and, as a result, ourselves – feel better, so why then do we hesitate? Click HERE to read more.
