It's small - I forgot to put it next to something for size. It's only about 7 inches tall. It's the Tag Along Tote - perfect name for what I wanted it for. I even put a little burlap on it.
I found that it also needed a little zipper pull, so I was experimenting with a tatted spiral chain and a charm. I wanted to add some tatting somewhere, but the perfect spot for a motif didn't present itself. I didn't want to force it and make it gaudy - it already has some color that I'm not sure I like. The zipper pull will have to do for the tatted portion on this one.
Fox was kind enough to share some of her stash of beads with me, so I think I'll tat a motif with beads and THEN sew something to attach it to :)
Long hours at work ahead for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and then the last of my classes on Thursday and Friday. Thursday night I am anxious to see Boz Scaggs with my dearest high school friend and concert buddy. She and I saw about every group possible in the mid-late 70's, and continue to enjoy music together when we can, only now in calmer venues :) Hopefully spring will arrive in Minnesota sometime during this crazy week - it's taking its sweet old time this year!
What a gorgeous bag! You are so talented!

I like the quilted look to this cute bag. I don't do enough sewing for this to seem 'easy' . I think it's so clever though. One if these days I'll get my sewing machine out of hiding. The zipper pull and tag are perfect!
