ok all done!

and dash it all... i'm really proud. i just feel like i am still trying to uncover this mystery that is sewing... so when things work out i cant help but grin from ear to ear. i showed some of my friends the bag this morning before i had put the bindings and handles on and now i am embarrassed that i did that because it really wasnt much to look at then but now it looks pretty good. anyway, without further ado... here she is!

or if i'm feeling a little crazy i can flip it inside out and have the lining show. and yes, that would be my first real pocket there. i even measured out the space to fit my iPhone perfectly:
and just so you can grasp the hugeness of this bag- here is what it looks like on... although perhaps this isnt an accurate representation of what it will look like when i have two kids because my watermellon stomach dwarfs everything right now.... but just know, this bag will be able to hold it all.


and here is ambrose modeling the bag... he wanted to wear it around until it came time to take photos.... maybe he knew i could blackmail him someday with purse pictures and he didnt want to appear too excited about the idea. ha! maybe he's just trying to be aloof and high fashion......

well, that's all for now. hooray for trying new things!

Super cute, as always! I'm glad you showed a picture with you wearing it because it looked like a tiny purse by itself. You go girl!

Speaking of watermelon stomachs...I remember clearly when I went in for an appointment with Dr. Shimizu at about 5 months (prego with Alton). She told me that my belly was about the size of a cantaloupe but by the end it would be as big as a watermelon. I just couldn't even begin to comprehend my body turning into such a huge thing. Boy did I ever learn...

Of course, I had to pop over and see the finished product. How great! I love, love, love the orange lining. Such a nice pop of color.

Good work! Yes, I thought it was smaller till you modeled it. And so funny on Ambrose -- watch out, he may become a model for real one day!! p.s. you are so lucky you look normal everywhere and then like you stuffed, yes, a watermelon, in your shirt!
