Mom ... and loving it! is the perfect name for this gorgeous bag because it was made by a frequent BFZ visitor, LaVonna, who IS a Mom... and loves it.

I love the design of this bag! The front and back of the bag are identical, button and all. The black squares are a fuzzy corduroy and the patterned turquoise fabric is a rayon or polyester. (I'm guessing.) The sides, bottom and strap are made of faux leather, or pleather, giving the bag some shape and firmness. The insides are made of a mystery material that feels like faux suede. The front and back buttons are gold with inlaid black enamel in a swirl design that matches the swirls on the turquoise fabric. So cute!

There are two pockets inside of the cute turquoise fabric. Also inside at the top is a bright turquoise glittery button and a little elastic loop to hold the bag shut. The top of the front and back are cinched in with wide elastic giving the bag a slight ruffle along the top edge.

The bag measures 14" across, 12" tall and 3" wide. The strap is 22" long and stays on your shoulder very nicely because it is so wide.

Thank you, LaVonna, for your talent and time and turquoise bag. It is darling and Zaza's Mama thanks you, my friend.

Baggy Peeps

So sorry to all my baggy peeps out there. I've been SO sick - just awful. I haven't hardly been out of bed for a week, seriously. I haven't watched so much TV in the last year as I've watched in the last few days.

Linda has several lovely bag creations ready to post, but I just haven't been able to muster the energy. So, I'm going to post some time tomorrow and we'll be back in business.

Thank you all for your patience and well wishes.

Fun fun fun!

OK - Wacky Wednesday was FUN! There's still a pair of Cookies and Cream Glovies left (ladies large) ... and I think we'll be doing this again. Maybe not on a Wednesday, it could be a Free-for-all Friday. Or at Totally-Awesome Tuesday. We'll just have to see.

What's so NEATO about the crocheted items is that I can do it anywhere. I carpool with three groovy guys and our drive is about 50 minutes each way. They prefer that I don't crochet when I'm driving, but they're absolutely fine with me going all loopy when someone else is at the wheel!

Question #1: What colours of glovies are you interested in? (I have SO much yarn - thank you Cousin Dawn and Nancy B.)

Question #2: What colours of totes or messenger are you interest in? (Options here are more limited, but I thought it would still be polite to ask)

Question #3: How does one suffer from a cold for 2 1/2 weeks, enjoy 1 1/2 days of wellness and then get another virus that comes with a horrible sore throat and fever. How is that fair? You don't have to answer this.

Thank you all! Now answer my questions and then go read up on the adoption news over at Zaza's Mama's site.

What are Lovely Spring Glovies? They are cute little crocheted fingerless gloves ... "glovelettes" if you will. They provide a little bit of extra warmth, without the full coverage of mittens or gloves. They can also be a fashion statement and look great with long or short sleeves. We've recently received two HUGE donations of yarn, so we thought we'd try something new. I've been wearing my glovies for a couple years now and they made a brief appearance on BFZ in a post last November.
