My Go-To Gift

I just love Rae's buttercup bag pattern. I've made so many as gifts, donations for fundraisers and even 2 for myself. A friend celebrated a milestone birthday today, so I whipped up another one for her yesterday afternoon.

Buttercup bag for Jen

It is made with Joel Dewberry (Ginseng) home-dec weight fabric leftover from making this bag. The interior is Amy Butler's Nigella print, also home-dec.

I knew last time I made it, I wanted a slightly longer strap, but after completing the bag I realized it was too long. Recalling a sweet button I bought at the textile market in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, I came up with a very simple strap-shortening-solution that almost looks like I did it on purpose.

It's snowing like crazy. Should be an interesting soccer practice for D tonight. I bet all of those 12 year old girls will be too busy trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues to pay any attention to their coaches! I know that's what I'd be doing.
