Can't wait to pick out the button!
This teal color will go so pretty with a white, or black or grey outfit. Perfect for the mother of the bride, too. I can't wait for this one to be done!
I'm 50, feisty and love that bling.

A New Scarf - A New Bag!
I just love these scarves--I have a new one that I've been mulling over--check out the pretty paisley border design, perfect for the flap, and then the side border, perfect for the strap. And that pretty fringe! Yes, I'm going to make a Princess Bag out of this scarf.

The Most Beautiful Bag I've Ever Made....
Well, darn, by the time I'd finally gotten pictures of this bag, I made another bag, and now that's the most beautiful bag....
Oh, well.
What I like about this bag is the layering...I used two fabrics, the lacy silver black scarf fabric and the shiny silver black confetti dot fabric. I used some of the confetti dot for the "necklace" at the top of the bag, but then I also put it underneath the body of the purse, so the sparkles "peak" out of the scarf fabric. I really love the way it looks and sparkles.
I also was pretty thrilled with the button I chose. I have many, many buttons that I could have potentially used...a silver metal one with a floral pattern specifically, but I decided to use this one. To me, the button looks like it's made of bubbles, with a tiny crystal rhinestone in the center of it.
It might be an interesting blog to show a purse in the making and the way a button changes the look of a purse. That will be for next time.
I hope your forth is so much fun and safe!

This is going to be the most beautiful purse I've ever made!
My husband (aka the shipping department) gave me a knowing look. "You say that about all the purses you make."
I gave him a snooty look. "Well, it will be the most beautiful purse. You'll see."
"Well I think the elephant purse was the most beautiful purse or the Royal Ohm purse, or the fruit purse--"
I was so mad I almost stomped my foot and he gave me a hug and chuckled. "Honey, if you make it I'm sure it will be."
Yes, he was patronizing me...but so what.
Here's a picture of another scarf I'm going to upcycle into the most beautiful purse I've ever made...stayed tuned and I'll show you what I come up with! Btw, I love my husband!
