Whew, I just had a very Monty Python moment. We got back from Bluewater a few minutes ago, and I was thinking, 'Now I can settle down and crochet my teacup cozy. That is all I have to do. Wait! Two things! I have to crochet my teacup cozy and cut pictures out of the old magazines. Those are my two goals. But there are three, three goals for today! I must crochet the cozy, cut out the pictures, and update my website. The goals are three in number.' Luckily, I stopped at three and am now making progress on them.
This was my final project yesterday. I've actually got a much groovier bag in the works, but I need to buy some things before I get any further with it -- and I'm purposefully making myself take a break from it, as I tend to forge ahead on things and sacrifice the initial vision. I figure if I work in stages, I won't rush to finish it, cutting out the nice details.
So, the above is my interim bag. It's a very simple little bag, but it's got a few pockets inside and should be just right for a while. I'm very fickle when it comes to bags, and I've tired of this one. I actually bought a Crumpler bag for my camera, but it's too boxy and fiddly for everyday use. And I needed something smaller I can sling across myself and forget about, so this does the trick.
The photo is pretty crappy (it's very rainy today, so I hauled one of our mirrors into the kitchen for light. . . plus, it looks like I haven't got arms -- I have; they're operating the camera.), but I'm wearing a new skirt and cardigan/fleece/sweater, which are presents from my mom. Except that she hasn't seen them yet and I bought them 4000 miles away from where she is. But the money was from her. Thanks!
The interim bag is beautiful. I LOVE the fabric. Good job.
