took you long enough.

on monday i finally lit a fire under my butt and lined my bag so that it is functional. because i got ahead of myself and attached the handles before lining it, i decided not to line them. (they were supposed to be lined before attached.) subsequently, they stretch a fair amount when i put it on with things in it, however it allows for it to then be slung across my chest, which i quite prefer in a purse/bag/satchel. alas, all turned out well! i'll also admit that my hand sewing is shoddy but there again... i don't so much care.

ruffles 1, laura 0

here's just a quick update on my just enough ruffles scarf in aqua. i dug bryans nikon out of the closet and had to fiddle with the settings. hopefully when he gets home he's not bothered! i need a lesson or two in photography. this will do for now. pretty darn good if i do say so myself.

as for the scarfy - so far, so good. i've learned how to wrap and turn and am just doing a simple stockinette stitch for like 12 more rows before i start my ruffles. wish me luck!
