a new bag

I needed a new bag. Something a bit more fun since I have been carrying a plain ol' canvas bag filled with toys, diapers and extra clothes for what seems like a long, long time. These days I just need to carry a toy or two around, phew! thank you!!! So to celebrate, I found a bag pattern I really liked and decided to treat myself to making it. Oh, so much fun! Quite a simple bag, and very well written instructions. I got a bit carried away with wanting to sew every moment until it was finished. I did need to practice a bit of self control though, with a pathology exam to study for. But seriously, sewing or studying?? 

I finished the bag the same day as my final. And as I walked to the park that evening after my big test, I laughed at how I had just sewn this beautiful big bag and now I didn't need to carry so much. I walked to the park empty handed allowing myself the space to let go of the stress of my big exam and all the work of these past few years. Lots of big breaths into the evening sun.
