Handbag Monday
When I picked up my latest finished needlepoint project, I felt like Christmas in April had arrived.
I have a unique love for all things crafted and have
bought many a finished needlepoint handbag on eBay and ETSY. Then I got an
urge. I had to make one of my own. I did a random search on eBay for handbag
canvases and this popped up:
I could do that. Just fill in the background. And I love
red. I loved red poinsettias. And I’d never made a Christmas bag before—SOLD!
Here’s what happened in stages:
I took my finished canvas to my local shop to be made into a
bag. I knew what size tote and handle length I wanted. The shop ladies are
terrific in helping, too.
And now for the finished product:
So what do you think? Like the size? The color? Would you
have picked a different background color? Would you make a handbag just for
Christmas?
Would you be surprised to learn my heroine carries handbags and loves them like I do? LOL. In case you'd like to make sure, find my romantic comedy caper, Temporarily Employed, at: Amazon

Merry Christmas, Vicki ... you did a fabulous job. Loved the design you started with. Red against black is dynamic ... and your local shop did a great job of making the bag.
