The header photo is one of the photos from when I was making the Yoyo bag. I was really having fun with all of those beautiful colors...while at the same time dreading what was to come...putting a lining in it!
When it was all done...except for the handles...it looked like this...
Then, last week sometime, when I was talking to my friend...my friend who is an expert seamstress in my opinion...I told her about my Yoyo bag, and that I really should've had it online for sale, instead of tucked away..out of the sight of 'lining-wanting-pocketbook-hunters'! ^_^
She said: "Give it to me. I love doing linings!" After I stopped and contemplated what universe she must have been born in, where a person could come out of it 'loving' to do pocketbook linings...then I begged her to "PLEASE" put a lining in my Yoyo bag....PLEASE!!!" She was happy to do it!........And here are the results!.....
So, what do you guys think?! Do you like the green?! What color would you have chosen?!...Oh! By the way, speaking of color...and green...the sister color to green...blue...was the theme of goodegear's Etsy treasury. And she included my Blue Wooden Button Dangle Crochet Flower Necklace from my Wuglyees shop in it!...

Okay, I'm off to eat a little breakfast, see if I can get hubby to take some better photos of my new 'lined' Yoyo bag...so I can go ahead and list it in my shop today, and then get back to doing the fringe on the scarf that's in my Giveaway. The 'bright' one. {The other one...the 'Pastel'...is only half done. I ran out of yarn...Hubby is gonna get me some more today. No worries, it should be all done by the Giveaway deadline, October 1st...
Speaking of which...I only have about 4 entries for the scarves right now! O_0 Nobody wants a free scarf?!!...Okayyyyy!...But if you're interested, you can check the right hand sidebar on this blog...the scarf photo. Or you can follow the link HERE as to how you can enter the Giveaway.}
Thank you all so much for being so supportive of me with your kind...and sometimes very funny! ^_^ ...words! I hope you're enjoying the interchange as much as I am!...although I don't know if that's possible! :-) ... Have a good rest of the weekend!
When I am alone
When I am alone,
with just my pen and pad,
I can talk about myself,
whether I'm happy, tired or mad.
When I am alone
all the words just fly
from my brain of 'Busy'-ness
to the sight-line of the eye.
When I am alone
there is no veiled conflict;
There is only what I think,
and my ball-point Bic.
When I am alone
I can just be calm;
and if there's been a fight,
words can soothe like balm.
When I am alone
I confirm, with glee,
that I really like myself
and that "I'd be friends with me!"
When I am alone
there's no loneliness;
and what I am feeling
I don't have to guess-
I just put down pen, and press!

Lisa, Awww! Thank you! :-] I agree too! That green was perfect! And I think you might be right about my co-partner too! I'll have to try to ease her into that one though. ^_^ ...

ReplyDeletedelia, Thanks Dee!! :-) I'm so glad you like it! I don't know about a 'new line' of them though. They're a lot of pain-staking work!
