Handbag, cotton tape, seed stitch, size 9 wood needles, braided strap
I didn't get this finished in time to have it at the little craft fair held by my food coop on Saturday. Well, this along with about 10 other projects. But I had a table full of things! You've seen them all here in the blog. I displayed them on a table draped in black velvet (thank you again, Dr. Brat) and the colors popped out like jewels.
A friend recently let several other friends comb through her hand-made bead rejects and we all thanked heaven that she has very high, exacting standards. We were all crazy over the "rejects". So I'll be using one wonderful bead from that stash to make the fastener for this bag. If I can stand to let it go.
I also mailed off six hats to another friend over the weekend. In the misty past I gave her a hat on impulse and since she has many indications that it is much coveted, we made sure she'll be able to keep hers by spreading around similar hats through her group of friends.
After the little fair and shipping off all the hats I felt oddly free of obligations on Sunday. I mused over getting back to paper arts again and not doing another show and sale until our annual Art on Lark fest in June. I need a break from the pressure of trying to make things by certain deadlines.

Those weren't rejects. She was actually concerned that the Canadian would be mad at her because she turned us loose on saleable product. Very high, she was and, oh, wasn't it fun?
Gotta decide what to do with mine. Spent hours tonight trying to wind a particularly recalcitrant skein, but until that happened, I was having a great time fondling and winding some recent acquisitions.
