Pattern Collecting Day

On bad health days, I spend some time collecting patterns.  I look up patterns on my phone sometimes and email the links to my yahoo account.  Then I look at them more closely and copy and paste to my word.I have TONS of patterns.  Now I have to feel like making things!
After so many years of having chronic illnesses, I guess that I have learned to live - to a certain extent - with having bad days.  I can't tell you how I used to resent a bad health day.  Another day out of my life, I'd think, when I'm not LIVING. Then I survived a sadistic, abusive husband, and I had even more bad days!! But I now respect these days and am thankful for being alive because I very nearly didn't survive my marriage.
Enough said; enough sadness.  I did get a lot of ideas and patterns to add to my collections and make for our shops: Ellas Green Nursery, jewisley4, and I Just Felt LIke It on Etsy. After all, as someone once said: "Tomorrow is another day!"
I work with several different media: yarn, fabrics, felt, ribbons, beads, and whatever strikes my fancy. And I'm interested in learning more new crafts - besides drawing!  I can't draw worth beans, but I do try to dry out my own designs which I hope to share with you later.
After all, "tomorrow is another day!"
