The Good News Is...

I get to keep the purse. Over the summer I bought some Alexander Henry fabrics-intending to make a bag for myself. Several months went by until I finally decided to make my bag. It turned out beautifully! I was so pleased with it that I felt guilty keeping it and decided to take it to a couple of craft shows to see if I could sell it. Two craft shows later and I still had it. I decided to take it for a test run...still love it and I've decided to keep it. The bad news--it now has coffee all over it, hence the keeping it. You can't see the stain at all, even if you know it's there but I could never in good conscience sell a bag that had something on it, right?! ;)

 

Now for a list of my works in progress:
