out of hibernation

girly

Does anyone remember this bag... I barely remember making it, but obviously I did!

I had to do some searching to find the original blog post...

and eventually found it here

nearly two years back!!!

Now for the really embarrassing part - I DIDN'T FINISH IT....

sure, it looks nicely finished in the photo - but open it up, and you'll soon discover that there is no lining...

I think I got all stressed out about how I was going to line it, whether I was going to line the flap as well... just trying to get my head around the logistics of it all. Plus - I LOST INTEREST in the bag, because... well... it's just too girly!!!

Honestly don't think that this original photo does the colour of the bag justice. In real life it is a much more intense looking pink. Then when you add those flowers ( which seemed like a good idea at the time) it's all just way too much...

Might need to rethink the embellishment while I am working on the lining.

Or else leave the flowers just the way they are, and pass it on to someone way GIRLIER than moi.

Actually...

I just went and had another look at the bag

Even if I keep those flowers... I need to ADD something... another colour perhaps... just to take the nasty EDGE off all that pink.

Not that I mind pink in general - but too much of a good thing can be SCARY!!!

Ugh! I think I hate the flowers.

YES.
I DO.
I feel so much better now that I have that off my chest...

Actually I'm a pink girl, and so are several of my daughters I think you should line it, and find a pink friend to give it to its way cute. :-)

Very cute, but those flowers do kind of get lost don't they. I think someone is going to love this purse in all it's pink glory!

I'm not a fan of pink but I would actually like this one if it weren't for the flowers. Perhaps white felt flowers that are more your style?

I LOVE pink and agree with misha, white flowers would be awesome. Love your stuff!

I LOVE it! But I have a soft spot in heart for pink. :-)

I personally think it's way cute. But I guess I should add that I'm obsessed with pink, so my opinion isn't very objective lol ;)
