Well, I had a go at making the mini bag and I tried to make it simple and unfussy. Honest, I did.
But, Juju sent me a lovely goodies package a little while ago and I just had to use the pretty fabric and then I had to use some braid that matched perfectly and then the ' flower ' thing happened again.
Seems like I don't do simple and unfussy.
I made this version very mini - just big enough to hold my Sobranie cocktail cigarettes and silk headscarf.
(In my fantasy life )
oh it's beautiful!!! so very girly! :)

The red polka-dotted fabric is wonderful! And I love the hand stitches around the opening!

I love it! I think that if you had a hundred people make the bag they would each have their own style reflected. it makes a great "blank canvas". I love all your flowery things. They seem so light and happy. everyone can always use a little bit of that!

Oh, it's just too pretty for words. It reminds me of strawberry shortcake - maybe it's the red and white polkadotted thing you've got happening. So sweet!

Wow! This is so lovely and sweet. Sometimes simple is good, but sometimes flowery and fluffy is better :o)

speaking of Sobranie cigs, just what flavor IS pink?
I was always more of a Marlboro light, red bandana kinda girl, but that little bag does something to me.

Hi Lyn,
Thanks for your post...Monkey's up over at wishthimble. What's the collective noun for Monkeys...cos I want to make more!
A bunch of monkeys?
