My FFBE Pal Got her Bag!

I know its late, but I had some problems, but I did get my bag out and just got word my pal received her bag. My pal was Karen R of ABC's of Creative Pursuits. I really thought I had it made as she mentioned she had gotten a new laptop and I had just gotten the new book, so I had the perfect bag to make for her. Even the colors are the same except for one I changed (I didn't like the mustard yellow straps so I made it purple) :) Couldn't go wrong with purple and green!
So now that Karen has her new bag, which I hope she really likes and can use, I can now show it off as I had several people anxious to see....so here it is
This took quite a bit to felt up, though the pocket over felted and I couldn't add it in without ruining the bag. Sure hope Karen doesn't mind, but if she wants to line it for pocket use she has my blessings :) Here are some of the goodies I sent along with...
This bag pattern came out of "Crocheted Pursenalitites" and was titled Career Casual. Yarn is what they called for and that was Cascade 220 in 8885 purple and 9447 green and part of the main body was using the green and Aurora Noro (purple colorway) I do love the sparkle that Aurora gave to the bag and it was nothing like regular Noro I worked with before. I'm glad I decided to buy 1 skein extra of each as the only thing I have extra is 1 of the Aurora Noro and a small tiny ball amount of green so I've decided for every pattern I ever do next, I'm buying extra cause as you know I usually have to order online!
I definitely had fun with this exchange and I sure hope Karen didn't mind me being a pest...lol she was quiet for awhile but I kept pestering.. I always meant well!

For those who keep updated with me about Storm, she is still way off the scale on glucose so they've upped the dosage again and we go back Tues. I'm really starting to get discouraged on this, but I'm hanging in there with Thanks to my friends!!

Well, off I go so I can make some stuffed Christmas tree's I'm behind on for putting up in my Etsy store, but I did add a couple sock size stitch marker/row counter sets this morning. Still working on the snowflakes ones though, but will have them up soon. Thanks to you all who visit and read my ramblings and visit my store..thats what keeps me going!!
Have a great Sunday and I hope everyone has a great week ahead!!

I wondered what the crochet pursenalities had to offer. I love my Pursenalities book. And I loved the bag MissMe made from Pursenalities Plus. I've never used the exact colors suggested though. Yours looks great. I'm sure Karen was thrilled. I'll say a prayer for your furry friend.

Fred always sent healing drool when other dogs were sick. Mugsy sends sweet cuddles, I guess. Hopefully Tuesday's report will be a good one.
