change

I went to my local goodwill, after being sorely disappointed at Target, snared two nice pairs of washable, yet dressy pants, chopped them off below the belly and am going to sew stretchy waistbands. The wool jersey ones were NOT with lycra and were a total failure. But they’re gorgeous fitting pants, so I will make more in a decent fabric. This is really a post for the sewing blog.

But along with all this is the renewed sense of change I am feeling. I needed to say “no, I promised myself THIS was my last and if I ever did it again, here’s what I’d do…” and I’m doing it. Work is settling down into proposals and projects – just the kind of flow I like. I need to add prospects to that, and then it will be perfect. Prospects, proposals and projects. I’m ready to start sewing bags and making the list of one thing per week to work on. I’m working on logos on the side for friends.

February gives us a peek at spring. This morning I heard birds singing. It’s still bitterly cold, and we put the flannel sheets back on. I got salsa on my maternity coat and they cleaned it in one day (I wore my mom’s swing coat – which is almost too small – but serviceable. Too cold for a cape.) But you can sense spring is out there, not too far away now. Six weeks, no matter what the groundhog says.

Tomorrow, evening networking event for entrepreneurs. I don’t know what the format will be, but I’m interested. I have several such ventures – our company’s initiative for entrepreneurs, the partnership with a client, my own side gigs. It’s good.
