g&g

Liz, Lori and I got together last night to churn out shopping bags for the upcoming Inman Park Festival. After sort of staring at our box of newspaper for a while, we came to some conclusions. The main thing we realized was that folks were more likely to hang on to and continue to use shopping bags if they were made of fabric instead of paper. So! We scrapped the paper idea for now. Instead, we made superquickie cloth bags! Lori posted an awesome tutorial over at SuperCute! on how it all went down.

Then, this morning we got really excited about fleshing out some stuff on the SuperCute! site. We put together a few pages explaining things like What’s With the Mustaches? and talking about our Mission: Possible! project. I’m pretty much overjoyed with how this stuff is going!!

I’ve mentioned here before that I sometimes get overwhelmed. It happens less lately. Whenever that feeling starts to creep up, I throw some energy at SuperCute! or sift through my fabric stash for something to sew. Sometimes, though, that doesn’t do it. No Impact Man sort of addressed this feeling in his posttoday:

…sometimes, the question of whether we can make a difference or not may be the wrong question. I think another line of inquiry might just as productively go like this: Do I want to be the kind of person who tries or the kind of person who doesn’t?

Yes!!! I think that’s what it all boils down to. It’s not about changing everyone in the whole world….I mean….that’s impossible. It’s about being your best person and living the best way you know how. Why waste energy worrying about what you can’t change? It isn’t worth it when there is so much you can.

Tonight, Liz, Lori, possibly Ally and I are getting together to do some crafting! We have a pretty ambitious plan involving 3 projects! We miiiighttt not have time for all of them, but I promise to take some pics of whatever we get done!
