"There's a fabulous world out there just waiting to be explored."
This is one of the tidbits of inspiration I received this morning from Sarah BanBreathnach in my daily reading of her book Simple Abundance . It stuck out to me from the rest of the reading because Mum is coming to visit for the
weekend and we are going to go exploring! We are both in such different times in our life, but we still enjoy so many of the same things. One of our objectives for the weekend is to find some fabric so that she can make me a new bag (my other daily use bag was ruined by my kitty the beginning of this week- very sad, but also an opportunity for something new!). Last week, Mom sent me a website (freespiritfabric.com) with some really awesome fabrics and I've been looking there for ideas and inspiration. To the left are some of the designs I really like and have taken as ideas for potential bag fabrics... and also as color and pattern inspiration for life in general. We'll just have to see if we can find some similar ones on our adventures to various quilting stores! I've also been looking for bag 
design and shape ideas. I carry lots of things to and from work each day- my day planner, the book I'm currently reading, my journal, a box of various pens, my cell phone and wallet, and other things depending on the day. I'd also like a new bag for carrying things when I begin my excursions to the city (and wherever else my wandering takes me)- things like drawing books and pencils, my camera, a reading book, my journaling things.... I suppose I could use the same bag, but if she'll make two, I won't complain! :) At right is one that I like by Amy Butler Designs. It's a little small for what I'm looking for, but it's the same concept as what I'd like- I also like the fabric! With these ideas and inspirations in mind, I'm excited for adventures with the Mum!
