They always say bad things come in threes, but this week good things have come in threes for me:
1. I spent the afternoon wandering B&J fabrics with a friend. A project brewing. Nothing bought (gasp!) but many plans laid.
2. I discovered a great eBay seller store for vintage sewing patterns. She has a fantastic selection, and she organizes her patterns by size as well as decade. Fantastic because it always seems like the perfect pattern, the one I absolutely must have, without fail turns out to be about five sizes too big. So I bought a few patterns. Just a few ; ) I'm feeling the early '60s. What about you?
3. And best of all. I met Susan last night for dinner. So wonderful to meet one of my "cyberfriends," as Twin and I jokingly refer to our blog friends, in person. Susan is the keen eye, gentle voice, and creative spirit behind sulu-design. And in real life she is every bit as kind, interesting, and reflective as you might expect from reading her lovely blog. A kindred spirit, I think.
Wishing good things to all my cyberfriends, in whatever number they arrive!

i'm very proud of you for not buying anything- tho you're not getting away w/o posting this photo to show just how hard it was for you to walk out empty handed...

Thanks, D. Always trust your friends to post pictures in which you look like a possessed crazy lady. aaaawwwesome. ;)
11x17 sounds like a good size. I ordered some fabric swatches. nylon would be good but then again wool flannel could be pretty cool too. though not as durable. hmmmmmmmm.....
The pleasure was all mine - so great to meet such an exacting designer and all-around friendly gal in person. Can't wait to see what project you have up your sleeve.
Three Good Things is a great way to look at things, isn't it? Check out the blog I started based on this idea (inspired in part by the UPenn study). Feedback and links are welcome. Link up if you or someone you know has a blog with the same concept. Best of luck with your creative work! Cheers, -Julia. http://3for365.blogspot.com/
