Do you ever start one task and get completely distracted and end up doing something completely different? I never thought I suffered from that malaise until today.
I have decided that I am only going to buy handmade and homemade presents for friends and family from now on (good karma and all that). So this morning I was searching for a suitable gift for a first birthday present. How is it then that I end up in email conversation with a designer about commissioning a handbag for me?!?
I just hope that I am a good ‘client’, although my requirements list did read a bit like a romance novel (to bags). Sigh.
Don’t despair, I have some funky ideas for the baby’s birthday present, so it wasn’t a wasted day and all about me me me.
[Update: I have created a Handmade Pledge group on Facebook, be sure to sign up to it if you have an account.]
Handbags 🙂 Did you tell Mr Crayons?
Clearly this is one of those occassions when it’s a ‘need to know only’ basis…
I have exactly the same problem – I start off looking for presents and end up buying presents for myself!

That’s so weird! Only just today I was in the supermarket doing a quick shop and stopped to look at some jackets/coats for my baby (groan – I know – in the supemarket?) and promptly decided that I would support handmade and buy her something lovingly made by someone selling on Coriandr, Folksy or any of the other online venues.
Arh Pomona, we are just misunderstood!
Good for you Stacey-Ann, we are singing from the same hymn sheet.
