I guess surly is an appropriate word for it, although "hateful" and "enraged" would also suffice. ;-)<br /><br />Congrats on creating 200 beautiful, insightful posts!

Your photos are beautiful, your projects are fabulous and your writing...well, what can I say...is AMAZING! It's like a good book I can't put down, filled with highs and lows and truths that allow us to feel your emotions. I love how "raw" you can be and how you are not afraid to express yourself. I can definitely use a lesson in that department. I should go ahead and stop, as I probably sound like a blog stalker by now...lol. <br /><br />Anyway...Congratulations on your 200th post! You did a beautiful job with the bags and the fabrics look wonderful!Tia Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605046952062091516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-25510960397533875992011-02-01T12:33:19.953-06:002011-02-01T12:33:19.953-06:00Wow!

I am so jealous. I have several Vera Bradly purses and all the goodies that match. So fabric purses/bags are my thing. Too bad you don't live close.

A friend, oh so many years ago, tried to get me to make a log cabin quilt block for a pillow front. I could cut the pieces just fine, but when it came to sewing, she told me I had a lead foot (sort of like when I drive). I couldn't control that dang machine, so she finished it off for me. :) I haven't seen a sewing machine before or since. Now I am trying hand sewing but have so little patience. Hope you are having a great day.

Love this post because I, too, struggled with this "easy" project (although I'm an experienced sewist) and was in a foul mood by the time it was done. I'm still mixed up in love-hate feelings about it, but it represents far too much work and anguish to ever give away.<br />You chose lovely fabric, and your bag looks great!Venus de Hilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424101811517659566noreply@blogger.com
