Happy 25th Monday of 2009!

A very wise friend once told me she loved Mondays because it was like a mini-new year to start something new, or keep going at something with full force. She's a smart lady. It's a good way to be, I think.

Quote of the day:

"I feel like an animal I want to meet someday is definitely an affectionate emu."

And I won one of these amazing pouches from Unruly Things. Thanks to both Alyson of Unruly Things and Alice from Forest Bound!

Alice is from the Boston area, and works with a local organic farm during the growing seasons and crafts during the cold winter months. See an interview here at Heart Handmade if you'd like to know more about Alice's sustainable sewing from reclaimed materials.
