Variety and Choices

The hubby has a theory - that you can tell what kind of day you're gonna have by the shoes you put on in the morning.

Work boots - work day...

Chaco sandals - better, it means a day off, or at least they're the first thing he puts on when he gets home from work.

Bike-riding shoes - even better. Motorcycle boots - even better. Hiking boots - probably the best. Dress shoes - he's probably going somewhere he would rather not...

It goes right along with his "right tool for the right job" theory, "you can never have too many pairs of boots" theory, and his "it's nice to have nice things" motto.

Kind of like bags, and purses. I mean, really - you can never have too many. Each purse has it's own purpose and personality. Some are very functional - some are VERY nice, some are expensive, some are not. You can tell the kind of day you're gonna have by which purse you're carrying, too - so the theory holds. There's the everyday purse, the dressy little clutch, the backpack... the ones that match this outfit and shoes just so....

Same with knitting bags. I have MANY knitting bags - yet each have qualities that make them best for a specific purpose - ok, maybe "whim" would be a better word here.

Here's my newest and coolest - made by my darling daughter Kaity. I picked out the fabric and she sewed it up for me - even to my specifications. It has a zipper at the top, cute polka dot contrast lining, and an inside pocket. She even made me a little zippered notions bag with the leftovers.

Variety - ahhh, the spice of life.... in my variety of children, Kaity's the crafty one.
