Oprah had some dude (the Rev. Will Bowen complaintfree@ccunitykc.org ) on talking about how he introduced an idea to his congregation. He claims that most complaining is from habit and that any habit can be broken in thirty days. He passed out purple bracelets to his congregation with the instructions - put it on either wrist. When you complain, switch wrists. When the bracelet stays on one wrist for 30 days consider yourself "complaint free".
Well, I emailed him and got a bag full of bracelets. I'm passing them out to any takers. (mainly in my circles). I've been wearing mine for a week. The first two days it switched quite a bit but it now has been on one wrist for 5 days. Jerry says that he does not consider me a complainer anyway, so this should be an easy exercise.
On another vein, Robin sent me her pattern for grocery shopping bags (http://quiltantics.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html) and I have whipped out 33 bags and have sold 13 of them. I am not keeping any of the money since I am making them for our church bazaar. Sure would like to get most of them sold before the November Bazaar because as I was looking through the "Bazaar Stuff" on Thursday, I saw a whole lot of things that I have sewn that has not been purchased. Would hate to have these bags join that lot. (that is not a complaint only an observation.)

THINK EBAY!
For all the things I've sewn for the Bazaar? Good idea. Want to come over here and give me some OJT on how that works?
