Is this good?

Thought I was going to post a pic of a new bag when you saw that question.....right? Nah, I am rethinking the whole bag, pillow, business thing. I have had so many people tell me how great my bags are. Okay! So why don't you buy one? I look on Etsy and I see the same bag 50 times by 50 different designers. They sell them by the hundreds. Same color and print cause everyone uses the same fabrics. Amy Butler, Joel Dewberry and Micheal Miller. If I have a handmade bag I certainly don't want the same one everyone else has. That kinda beats the whole "handmade" idea. It's almost like there is a bunch of little Vera Bradley's out there and instead of one person being the queen of that kind of bag laughing all the way to the bank theres a bunch of princesses out there sharing all the money. If you buy handmade wouldn't you want to stand out. Don't you want a limited edition or a one of a kind bag? If not you can go to Walmart and get the Vera knockoff I keep seeing everywhere. And why do people buy those awful things? They are just terrible!

So here is what I am thinking......maybe I need to just forget about making bags. Maybe what I think is really great is not so fabulous. Who knows. I think maybe I am going to go and break something.....write later!
