Wow! You are AMAZING!! You just made that up as you went along?!?!? Impressive. I really like this bag, it is different. Why do you think you DD wouldn't use it?

PS just hopped over to your blog you have some really neat stuff there too.

Don't do this to yourself or your work! Give it a chance. Sure looks good from here!

Don't be so hard on yourself, it is very pretty

This is how I gift most of my stuff. It's hard to make something for a specific person. I just make what I like and when it's admired, I know that it has found a good home.
I would show it to your daughter first and let her have first dibs...

What's not to like??? It is adorable.

I think it's a beautiful bag. The style is so unusual and it is roomy. The great British weather dictates a bag big enough for a brolly and I like to pack my kindle in too!

I agree. Sometimes our kids can really surprise us... LOL! I really like this. But I also understand what you're saying. I have a 75% finished (needs borders) queen-sized quilt top that I made for my DH & have decided is too hideous to give to him. Actually, he'd probably like it but I hate it so much I don't even want to finish it. Bummer!

But I'd bet money she'll love it as its elegant, and totally different from anyone else's bag...you did an absolutely fantastic job on it!

You are right about my daughter having different taste than I. She loves quirky and I love classic...guess I was trying to get somewhere in-between. I love your idea about giving her permission to give it to someone else! That is an outstanding idea! Thanks!

I loved everything my mother made for me--I bet she loves it!
