Life is still busy. Lots of things in planning and set in motion. As for blogging,
I'm begining to wonder bout keeping a blog or bloglines for that matter. I get a bit batty nowadays cause everytime I log into Bloglines I have 400 over posts (and counting) to contend with. I no longer enjoy it. :( I feel like I'm plowing through them Darn it, no fun. I do still enjoy reading the blogs of people I know or are close with. Apologies all round, I do try my best to drop by whenever I get some free time. You girls totally make the effort worthwhile. :)
Just in case I don't get back in time for another post before Christmas day itself.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPAY HOLIDAYS everyone!
Butterly
I never thought I'd feel this way but Butterfly is starting to bore me to tears and I'm only at the hips. Before I started Butterfly, I was bit hestitant cause reading the forums, they've encountered problems with the pattern. I'm just glad that Kiri was my first lace project. I learnt a lot from it. Butterfly is actually quite a simple lace stitch. Only 2 lines of 6 sts to remember. It's fast, but because it is a dress, it's still very slow going. Worst is I can't watch TV while doing this to ease the boredom. If I ever get to the finishing line, I'll be very glad to finish it.
Bangle Bag
My bangle bag was done quite some time ago, but I didn't get around to finishing it. Now finally the lining is completed. I think I could possible try a side pocket next time. These 2 pics are all I got. The rest of the pictures were so blur they gave me a headache just looking at them. This is the same color lining I'm using for the bamboo cluth. Though, I have a feelin I might redo the bamboo clutch to sort out some pattern problems.

I hope you keep your blog! Just post whenever you feel like it. :)
Butterfly is looking good. Would you consider shortening it?
oooh, butterfly is pretty!! and your bag is looking really cute! i agree about keeping your blog - how else can i keep in touch with you? just wanted to stop by and wish you a Merry Christmas!
Butterfly is looking good, but I understand what you mean about the boring part. Thanks for showing the inside of the bag. It helps me to see what should be done with the lining. I also know what you mean about bloglines. In an earlier fit, I deleted all my subscriptions. Now I have resumed bloglines subscription but it's less than 50. That makes it more manageable for me. And when I have time, I surf the other blogs. Have a happy, relaxed and blessed Christmas, Laura.
Just dropping by to wish you and your family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Cheers,
Michelle
Same thought as Joy here, I definitely would love to read your posts. As for Bloglines, don't make it a chore, otherwise it would no longer be enjoyable.
Just mark everything as read when you are feeling too overwhelmed ... I don't blame you ... I felt like that too sometimes. I think we all understand. It's not a job ...
Your bag is so cute ... having lining is definitely important.
your bangle bag lining looks really good--so skillfully finished.
i get overwhelmed by blogs too. don't push yourself; it should be fun. no pressure.
looking forward to seeing your blouse and jacket!
Great job on your bangle bag. The lining is so well done that at first glance i thought it was a two way bag.:)
As for the pressure about blogging, I feel it too. So we all should take it easier. I just hope you continue to post as I enjoy to read them!
Merry Christmas!!!
oo..the bangle bag is cute! MErry Christmas!
