Taking Advantage of Island Time

 

Living on an island in the north Atlantic

certainly has it's perks.

 

You can't deny the quiet, peaceful beauty

and you can't get lost!

 

But there are drawbacks, too.

If you run out of thread or need a zipper,

it's over an hour to the nearest shopping opportunity.

 

RCMP presence is minimal and the ATVers and dirt bikers

sometimes take over the roads,

filling your airspace with obnoxious noise.

 

And then, there is 

Island Time.

 

Now, I'm all about slow, easy, and deliberate..

And I'm prone to procrastination myself, upon occasion,

but it is not my 'way of life'.

However, if you are a business here, you have a little monopoly,

and you 'get to it' whenever it suits you.

.

If you are told they'll be out your way on Wednesday or Thursday,
there's no telling what Wednesday or Thursday they are referring to.
Afterall, there are lots of them!!

In the meantime,
while I patiently wait and try to find the humor in Island Time,
I sew.

 

Am loving Valori Wells' creations.

Here are a couple of cell phone pocket purses.

The cell phone is kept in a back pocket,

snug against your body, but easily accessible;

and under the buttoned flap are little wallet pockets.

 

I've made several of these since last winter.

They are lots of fun to construct.

My daughter is a bag lady

and has a few in different colors,

some for fun, some for work.

 

They are also great for moms.  Sometimes,

you don't need to take that great big diaper bag or tote

into a store.  These bags are perfect to keep in the bigger bag

and just grab to run into the store for this or that.

 

Have a great day!
