I was seriously hit with inspiration this week. It may be because I finally broke free from my plague of bad luck. In mid December, my sewing machine broke. Then my iron stayed cold.
The brakes on my van began to engage themselves. The microwave started humming LOUDLY. The furnace was running, but the house was cold. I stayed strong and was able to cope, until I opened my dresser drawer and the bottom fell out. UGH... All of this happened in a 3 week period. The three weeks surrounding Christmas.
But, not all hope was lost. I received some generous Christmas gifts from family that helped me work through it all.
A friend helped me with my furnace and my oven. We can live without a microwave. The sewing machine and iron have both been replaced, and the van was fixed. It was all better....
Then the deer ran out in the road and picked us for it's suicidal mission. The repair estimate came to $1500. UGH UGH UGH
But, last week there were no problems. It was smooth sailing. I followed my diet, I exercised a lot, and even got in two trips to the sledding hill! So, this week began with good spirits. And I rode that optimism all through the week. My work goal was to complete 4 purses, which I did. They turned out great, and I think each of them could be considered my best work. Then, today, at 5 pm I was able to pick my van up from the repair shop. It was a good week all around. I can't wait for Monday when I can do it all again. I think I even get a free ski trip this weekend! How cool is that?
Here are the bags I made this week:
