The true beginning to the finale of my Tuesday class started last Thursday. I looked at my bag pieces and got sick of looking at them, and decided to just finish the bag, and I did before the night was over. I was excited that I did it and meant to blog earlier, but seemed like more and more things were coming up that needed more attention. I spent most of the weekend feeling sick, dealing some things, or fighting Verizon DSL modem which seem to only let me use the internet for about a minute or two before crashing. I decided to take a photo and post it. Tuesday rolls around, I managed to get there before anybody else, so I had time to do some of the drawings that I need to get finished. Students in the class started to come in, some with finished bags or pieces of a bag. My teacher smiled at me when she saw my bag. When she opened it she saw my handy work and said "Oh I see now, you're all fancy with the bag!" Since I did my bag with a seam finishing that is a bit more difficult to do for a beginner. During the class time the teacher went up to me, placed her hands on my shoulders, and told me.. "Paula, you have too much talent to be doing what you are doing. You got to stop playing with it and make something big happen. It's time for you to make it happen.. I want to see you out there." Some of my classmates and I were going on about how we were amazed that the class is over. It didn't seem like it was long enough but we had our start on the basics. Most of the night she just kept repeating on about it, most of the night. What she said really got under my skin in a way, that I have been starting to make it happen. I will show more of what I have been doing when it's near completion.
