another Sophie gets felt up

Can a girl have too many bags? Yes, probably. That's why I made this one for my mom, using Bartlett Yarns worsted in black, and Peace Fleece in Ancient Fern. Mom wears a lot of brown and amber, so I think she'll get a lot of use out of this cute little bag.

Here's a close-up of the beaded handles. Most of the beads I use are glass, and are therefore breakable. I've made a leather shoulder strap as well, in case she doesn't want the beaded handle. You can just never tell what my mother will want, you know? I f I say "red", she'll say "green". So this time I'll say "black, amber and Peace Fleece," and let's just see if she doesn't shout out a great big, enthusiastic "YES!"

Is anyone else thinking that time is passing by more quickly these days? Wouldn't you think that if time keeps moving faster, evenutally it would go backwards? Yeah, I know--I'm trying to avoid Monday Morning at the Office. Time travel may be an extreme method of avoidance, but I'm willing to give it a shot...
