Just last week a friend stopped by and I was showing her some things I'm making for our church craft sale in September, including a small purse.I've been using a bunch of fabrics I got at a yard sale and stuff from my stash. Well, she immediately said she would love if I'd make a coin purse for her to used as a gift. I said I could do that and she could give a donation to the church for it. Then somehow she wanted FIVE of them. Bags smaller than the one I showed her, and maybe different fabrics and....on and on. I was so taken aback I just went along with it, but now I'm getting kind of annoyed about it. She also wants some quilt lessons, which she would pay for. I have been thinking of giving some lessons, but who knows what that will turn into. Yeah, I think a lot us are in the same boat!
Be strong. It's a lifelong journey for those of raised to "be a good little girl and do what you are told," to learn the words NO! and I WON'T.
