Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your appreciation over the years. Just to let you know I have relaunched the Roman Sock Shop and you can now find it at romansock.com.
I am sorry for not posting....but I have been obsessed.... totally obsessed.... with making this bag. The design is scarily simple but I am really pleased with the results. I think it is more of a wip project bag rather than a everyday handbag but still... I think it was worth the night and day devotion.
I have long been an admirer of the gorgeous ripple afghans that everybody is making, but I just don't have that sort of commitment, and I wanted something that I could see all the time that captured a little bit of that feel. If anyone is interested in a quick tutorial let me know. It was seriously the simplest thing to make.
Christmas this year will be a cozy small affair...and I even have presents which are a total surprise. I am so excited!!
When I was little, my mum put our filled stocking on our doors, so when we woke up in the morning we could open that, and then later when the adults were thoroughly awake (After a busy night wrapping - I guess) we would all be allowed in the living room.
I always thought it was a great idea, and the memories of those small presents opened in total silence in my room with all the excitement of the day are just the best. She would also leave a little present under our pillows so there was a little something at the end of the day too. Although I have to confess I was one of those kids that always succumbed to too much birthday or too much Christmas... Oh well!!
I like the ripple effect too. You have done a fabulous job, love the design.
