The Impossibilities Challenge

The start of a new year is full of possibilities...right?  Well, that's what I hear out there since 2012 rolled around. It's a time to address those big projects and goals that have been looming, and looming, and...yeah, you get the idea ;) . You might say it's time to conquer your "impossible", what you think you cannot do or do not have the courage to try.

What's My Impossible?

Sewing!

{Yep, that's right folks, sewing, I'm not talking creating world peace here}

I have successfully learned how to sew pillow covers and curtains, but that's about it, and it's time to move on! I really have wanted to try a tote/purse, but thought it far too impossible for someone to accomplish at my meager skill level. Until, I decided to take the {drumroll}...

I'm joining these other talented bloggers in the "Imagine The Imossibilities Challenge" and the project I am tackling will look something along the lines of this...

The fabric, handles, and possibly shape will be different, but you get the idea. Do you think I am "copping out" by not sewing handles? I kinda do, but I'm just gonna give myself that easy out...plus, I like the bamboo handles and have seen some cute colored lucite ones I like also.

I have until Jan. 30th to complete my challenge...the pressure's on!  I will be doing weekly updates on the progress and reveal the final result on Jan. 31st, which will culminate in a celebratory Link Party with my blog challenge partners, where YOU TOO, will be able to link up your "Impossible"...you do want to join us don't you?!  We'd be delighted if you did!  

Grab our button and post it on your blog or Facebook, post about it with your "Impossible Challenge", then link up at the party the end of the month.  I know you've all got new projects in the fire for the start of 2012...come show them off!
