Inspiration Tuesday. Hands that Feed.

Hello dear ones.

Today, I'm feeling incredibly inspired by this project, "Hands That Feed," a documentary film project exploring the food crisis in Haiti that long-preceded the devastating earthquake of January 2010. The project aims to record the journey of young Haitians "as they seek to build a sustainable future for the country."

These are trying times for so many of us. And changing obstacles into opportunities for inspiration is one of my favorite magic tricks! (My yogi friends will know this is related to devotion to Ganesh! :) )

If you are as moved as I am by this project, you can show your support at Hands That Feed.

Now, my dears, how have you been changing obstacles ito opportunities lately?

Pounced! Great Patterns.

I've been on an amazing Pouncing expedition on Etsy and cannot wait to share all of my finds with you.

Great Patterns sells just that: great patterns. Gorgeous, vintage patterns perfect for summer sewing. {I love to bring my sewing machine into whatever room my husband and I are hanging out in at night and sew away while listening to music.} The patterns offered by Great Patterns have ignited the sewing spark, and I think I'll sew a dress this weekend.
