I have been working diligently on so many exciting projects this week I'm actually thrilled to get to them in the morning and thinking of them at night. I want to start making more textiles, like fabric bags and purses. I am also secretly- okay no longer secretly- yearning to make shoes. That's right shoes! I'm sure as you read this you are giving me (or at least your computer) the same 'okay, back away from the nice crazy lady' look. I'm not sure why creating shoes seems so out of reach that it's just nutty to even try. I have been wanting to for months and months now, but kept talking myself out of it. I'm going to start and just see. I also picked up some gorgeous vintage pieces this past week that I can't wait to start transforming. Again- I'm just going for it. I blame it on Barbie. You read that correctly! I have many more comments to come about kid's movies in general, but for now I'll focus on the most relevant one. I've had the song "Get Your Sparkle On" from the movie Barbie and a Fashion Fairytale stuck in my head for days now. The whole focus of the song is to do what is in your heart and "show the world where you belong". I've realized that if I can preach to my daughter that she can do anything, then I can live it too. So I'm going to try it all. All the patterns, projects and completely new ventures I can dream up will at least be attempted. We'll see how it goes! I apologize for the certainly cheesy aspects of this revelation! My choice of entertainment is a little limited at the moment! That being said, there are many good things to be learned from the right movies!
