The Story Is Everything

"Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if ye will sit down quietly, may alight upon you" ~Nathaniel Hawthorne~

everything tote

at 8:58 PM

a while back, i was thumbing through a library sewing book and decided to make this bag. i cut out all the pieces last friday and put it together on saturday. it's called the 'everything tote'. i forgot which book this pattern came from, but it is wonderful. i even put binding on! woohoo!

Ashley: North Bend, WA, United States; i want the world to spin around me while im standing still. i want to be swept off my feet. i want someone to miss me when i go. i want to be loved like in the movies. i want to have my disney princess ending. i want the sun to shine through my kisses. i want that can't-eat, can't-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over- the-fence, world-series kind of love.

Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed:
I was here.
I was hungry.
I was defeated.
I was happy.
I was sad.
I was in love.
I was afraid.
I was hopeful.
I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that's why I made works of art.

I am three people.
I am who I think I am
Who YOU think I am
and
Who I REALLY am.

I love "The Gaslight Anthem"

It's A LOOOONG Story

Story of my life...
