I just saw this article http://www.stylelist.com/2011/09/26/...ncid=webmail15
and thought this part was particularly interesting:
You’re Feeling: Uninspired -- You are an artistic person, but suddenly you can’t think of anything to draw or paint or write about. You stare at the blank word document or canvas, you're totally lacking inspiration and don’t know how to get your creative juices flowing again.
Color Solution: Orange (high-wavelength) -- Orange hues strengthen concentration while also boosting creativity. The bold color actually stimulates your adrenaline, but go for a warmer burnt orange to avoid the distraction that can come with shocking, bright colors. Try painting an accent wall across from your desk to keep you excited without overpowering your office.

You know, I had to pick up some craft items at Jo Ann's last week and a gorgeous piece of orange fabric demanded that I bring a yard of it home. :shock:
Even though I had an idea what I was going to do with it when I bought it, I changed my mind and made a PortaPocket for my purse, and now I see that wonderful bright fabric every time I reach in my purse and it makes me smile! Now I have to go back and get some more for the original project!

the porta-pocket looks a great idea, unfortunately all my handbags are different sizes, I guess I will just have to remember to add more pockets to the next one I make
Here is an idea for you - how about making something not so 'quilty' for a change, or how about planning & making your ideal bag especially for going to quilt shows, with dedicated pockets for money, keys, camera, sandwiches etc, with the shoulder straps being exactly the right length, and in the right place.Lotti, Kuessnacht - Switzerland

That's what I've been doing Rosemary! I'm in jeans most of the time, so I've made a denim tote bag, and a smaller denim purse. The bright orange PortaPockets should make it easier to switch as the occasion call for more or less room.

This denim tote is made with the right and "other" side of one piece of denim fabric! Cool, huh!

The fashion police would throw me under the jail!! I live in jeans and tee shirts, and these days it's impossible to find a simple purse that isn't HUGE, covered in pockets and chains and extra bling! Just give me a plain little denim bag, please!! Never mind....I'll do it myself!

Thanks Pam!! I made that one first, thinking it would work for Houston, but it's much larger than I want to carry for an everyday purse. I love it for times when I need more space, but I'm really happy with the smaller sized purse. Of course, if I were to do it again, I would make some changes, but isn't that the way of everything?

My problem with making bags is that I can't do zippers. I'll make a confession here-I made it through a year of Home Ec without ever doing a zipper or buttonhole ops: . I used a lot of ribbons :wink: and it got me a C grade for the year.
Any of those bags not require a zipper?

But you can always leave that section out!
Neither of the other two bags I made had zippers. The large tote uses magnetic closures, which were easy to add. The smaller purse had directions for a button closure, but I left it off because I actually prefer a purse left open at the top.
In hind-sight, I wish I had added magnets!

Oh well...if fore-sight were as good as hind-sight, we'd all be a darn sight better off! :lol:
