So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work, or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever." Neil Gaiman

August finish!
After several months of no finishes, I finally finished this make up bag for the OPM challenge! Haven't been sewing much this past week. I did work on a few more nine patches but nothing really to show.
It is storming outside (don't worry my laptop is unplugged!) big thunderclaps. I love thunderstorms! It's a natural fireworks display and it's amusing to watch the raindrops bounce when they hit! I know, I'm easily entertained. I'm tired so I'm not watching. The satellite tv is searching for a signal think I may as well turn it off-the tv that is.
It occurred to me that my trip to Ireland is only like 5 weeks away and that I needed shoes and clothes plus misc stuff. I have a horrid time finding clothes and shoes that I like so I went shopping. I hit the jackpot! Bought 4 pairs of shoes, I can tell you this is something I haven't done for a long time, maybe ever. They had the sketchers I love in both brown and black (they don't always carry them so I bought both) I have two pair I bought 2 years ago and while they aren't really fit for going out they're still in terriffic shape for raking etc. I also bought new walking shoes, tennies, and a pair of flats that will be easy to manage through airport security. Also found two long-sleeved T's for wearing under sweaters. Will need to get on line and get a raincoat with a hood and some more shirts. I'm starting to get excited!
Beth and I went to see "Eat, Pray, Love" last night after dinner at Red Lobster. It's such a treat to spend time with her alone! The movie was fun, too. I loved the book and hey Julia Roberts! It was very good, somehow they managed to make Julia even look a little like Elizabeth Gilbert! That's a bit of a stretch as Julia's very tall and Liz Gilbert is maybe 5'2" and 100 lbs soaking wet! Anyway, it's good but probably fits the "Chick flick" category!
Well, I think I'll go watch the storm.
