Whenever I visit a bookstore or a gift shop, I can't help but stop at the "Quotable" rack.
The positive words and good vibes serve as a much needed pep talk.
"Quotable" started as a collection of greeting cards and over the years, the line has expanded to include magnets, notebooks, and mugs.
They're functional and a powerful daily reminder.
I made some lines as a guide.
I originally wanted to use ink (ex. fabric pens) but I was afraid of mistakes that I couldn't erase. Instead, I used embroidery.
My pouch says "What you make matters". It's a quote I got from the #100DayProject. It's an affirmation I return to whenever I'm experiencing self doubt.
Here is my hand-embroidered pouch...TADA!
How about you, what are your favorite quotes?
Hey Claire, long time no "talk". I love your quote, especially as I remember your 100 Day Project journey. Quite happy to learn of the origin of that "yesterday/tomorrow/today" quote ("that's why they call it the "present")... I heard it from Master Oogway on Kung Fu Panda! And one of my favourite quotes (also from that wise old tortoise) is "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."
ReplyDeleteNice job on the script, by the way. Hmm... maybe I should try some embroidery.
Hi Rochelle! I hope you are well! Thank you for sharing these quotes...a great way to start the week and a new month. :-)
DeleteI love your pouch! I like it better than the machine-printed products, too, because having something handmade always makes it special.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Priscilla! It took longer but it has a handmade touch! ;)
