Hey yall! Happy New Year to you and yours! Hope you had a wonderful holiday and are enjoying the start of 2009. Let me tell you, this year is going to be absolutely fantastic for me! It has already brought along with it many exciting new beginnings in my life. My hopes for this year are to allow myself to find creative inspiration in new places, remain motivated, and to be open to exploring new ideas.

With that said, I decided to start up a new blog for the sake of keeping my hobbies separated. I truly love scrapbooking and it will always be a passion of mine. However, my love for patterns and prints has seemingly expanded beyond the medium of just paper and cardstock towards fabrics and more! It has even led me to a discover the entrepreneur in me. I mean, with the economy being in the shape that it currently is, and me being a graduate student, finances had become more of a real issue for me. In fact, our nation's economic status ultimately inspired me to start thinking of little ways that I can go about pulling in extra money, and amazingly, led me to discover more of my creative skills. I never would have thought that I would have any type of sewing skills, but to my surprise, I really know my way around a sewing machine! Sooo, after dabbling in a few sewing projects, I found my niche- clutch making.

I truly enjoy it, and I have been encouraged, by a couple of my friends, to sell my purses. Thus, have decided to open up a little business. I have opened up an Etsy shop, MyPatternedMind, where I will be selling all of my clutches. As of now, I'm working on medium frame clutches, but large and extra large framed purses are soon to come! Lastly, I will be posting my latest creations here on this blog so I can dish about the creative process and my various collections. It's going to be absolutely wonderful, so I definitely hope that you'll stick around for a bit!
