A Pretty Ending, Finally
I have to tell you...this purse gave me FITS. In the wash, my little embellishment yarn fell off, mostly. Without a doubt, I hated it anyway and yanked it all off. Next, I cut the hole for the 'handle'. I don't know, the proportions were all wrong for me. The color wasn't as I saw it. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ok, thinking...I love pink and brown together and have a dress to match. What to do with the pink yarn? I tried a few things like making a freeform heart to glue on the front. Hanging it off the bottom. NoThe top. No. No, no, no. Then I folded the top down and wished that I hadn't cut the handle hole. But that turned into an idea as I solved the problem of the hole. I had some paper flowers and attached them with brads(I didn't feel like sewing anything on!) It seems to work. Next, I added the pink yarn as handles by cutting two small holes(yes, BRAVELY cutting MORE holes in poor thing--it was all or nothing at this point; the thing was inches from the trash can at this point!) and threading the yarn through and tying the two ends under the flap that had been created when I folded the top of the purse down. Ok. I know. That was a seriously-hideous run-on sentence. Really, I can write extremely well. However, sometimes, it just doesn't convey the mood or my personality when I write everything in correct form. You know? And lookie!!!! Isn't it cute as a button now? I just have to pull the cardboard out of it after it dries in shape. Now I think I will go call my sweetie and see if he wants to go out for dinner so that I can use my new purse with my favorite dress!(never gonna happen, he wants to golf) Hey, I can dream can't I?
