I enjoy your blog so much.

Last year I learned how to sew in a zipper thanks to all the tutorials by generous bloggers.

How nice of you to offer up one of your snap coin purses as a gift to one of your readers.

Those snap coin purses are adorable- when I saw them on your site, I made a mental note to myself to learn how to make one!

Something that I learned… last year, I learned how to develop and print film in the darkroom. I’m still not very good, but I’ve been taking more pictures and plan to spend more time in the darkroom this year.

oh i hope i’m not too late! i love that photo you have up there – can’t wait to see more. one thing i have learned.. is to be okay with things not coming out the first time, but to keep on learning and trying (and enjoying the process!) until i get it right.

I’ve learned that creating something, even if I only get to work on it for 15 minutes each day, is essential for feeding my soul.

Please, please post instructions on how you made the lamp shade. I love it and want to make something like it!

I’ve learned how much joy you can get from simple things. A good cup of coffee during a leisurely morning, the feel of luxurious yarn, a pretty bunch of flowers – I’ve learned to recognize how these simple things offer me so much comfort and happiness.

I learned that sometimes fabric that looks red on the computer screen is orange in person, and that it’s possible to change directions mid-quilt and still end up with something I’d happily put on a bed. Sometimes, so-called “mistakes” can present great learning opportunities – I taught myself to machine-quilt on that quilt because I wasn’t as attached to the end result as I would have been if I’d made the quilt I originally planned to make.
