I can't stop daydreaming about what I want Emmaline to be someday and about everything I have to do to get it there, and I think it's time for Emmaline to start moving towards my end goal. There will be some changes. Not a sudden, big change, not a fast change, just little, slow changes made with "baby steps" that will eventually add up to something pretty massive! Oh, and one gigantic step around the globe... 

The first change is in business direction:  From now on, every bag, purse, and tote, etc., I make will be completely my own design and pattern.  I'm going to create handbags and purses with the process of pattern making and reproduction in mind as I do it.   All of my patterns will be available in my shop via .pdf file and hopefully, in the future, in other shops as well. I'll also slowly evolve my site into one that sells handbag hardware and handles, and my blog into one that provides free sewing tutorials.  I love the idea of tutorials!  We all need help and we all need to pick up those handy sewing tips and tricks somewhere.

It seems as though I have been motivated and inspired in an ambitious direction, only realize that plan can only be followed slowly....  and in bits and pieces. I need to try and get some sewing done and patterns created, because soon much of the work will only be able to be done on my computer.  I suppose this could include blogging.  (Which is more or less just journaling when you don't have any followers. ;)  And... I just winked to myself, how sad.)
