DH and I managed to be invited to three complete-with-all-the-trimmings Christmas Dinners over the weekend! I am still suffering from Turkey Torpor! Mind you, my idea of The Compleat Christmas includes a turkey with cranberry sauce sandwich for breakfast on Boxing Day, so it was all good. Just got home from my DH's sister's home and a buffalo roast dinner. Nice change.
As to my 'word' I have so much commission work to do, so I really must overcome the turkey and get busy. I have been pulling purple ties to audition for the handbag, and have discovered men don't like purple very much. Only about 12 out of my monumental collection! And their wives don't like purple either! I have a huge selection of upholstery samples and none of it can really be called a true purple, at least not a big enough piece to be of much good. I have had some help doing some more purple tie hunting.
Some of these ties are a bit of a stretch to call purple, but I should only need six or seven so I should be able to find something that works. And that pink and black number will certainly find its way into something else for sure!
I am sketching bag designs, and have yet come up with the perfect pattern. I am thinking along the lines of a very modern type of crazy quilt with lots of bead treatments; and fancy yarn....I have lots of that in purple.
I will keep you posted (pun intended).
