Fail but then maybe not

I finished my bag and I love it.



Then I went to the locksmith shop. They could not have been less interested in helping me. The (obviously) head guy looked at me and said "I told you last time you came in that I had nothing for you. We can't do anything." I assured him I had never been in there before. He didn't care. I won't be bothering him again.

I did get a pizza. Yum.

Then I wandered around Home Depot looking for ideas on how to lock down the scooter. I finally decided I could do it with the strapping that I use for bags. I killed an afternoon trying that idea out. NOPE.

Then I went back to Google and tried a million different search terms and finally came up with a boot or clamp that I think will work fine.



There is a snowflake in the forecast for Sunday. I could get down with a little snow action. But I'll bet we won't even get rain. sigh.

Time to get that oven cranking to 425.

That bag looks like it's quite possibly the best bag ever! I love all the fabrics, and it seems like it has perfect pockets!

[susandennis]

Thank you! it does tick all the boxes of my own bag requirements. I did mean to add a hook for keys and I still could but I think I'll wait and see if i really need it.

I Am also way impressed with that bag. (And the flamingo especially!)

[susandennis]

Thanks! That flamingo fabric was my favorite and this was the last of it. Sigh.

[susandennis]

[susandennis]

I love your bag!
I hate people like that. I remember as a teenager I turned up for an historical open day at a local building and the woman snapped at me 'I told you last time you couldn't come in unaccompanied!'. I protested that I had never been there before but she wouldn't let me in

[susandennis]

Thanks!

You must have a doppelganger that routinely harasses locksmiths, lol.

[susandennis]

See, I was going with all fat old ladies with scooters look alike but I like yours way better.

[susandennis]

Thank you!

I love your bag too! It's great. And I'm impressed that you did all this in one day, all the pockets, the zippers, the strap... A perfect job!

[susandennis]

Thank you! But, it did take 2 days - about 7 hours total, I'd say.

That bag looks really well thought out. I love the way you combine different bits and pieces to make really colorful stuff.

[susandennis]

Thank you! It is a fabulous pattern that was very easy to follow. The colors are all my favorite combinations.
