"It's All About Me" and Natasha Burns REALLY challenged me!
After reading all her questions, I realized this party was definitely for me.
One of her questions really hit home for me~
"Are you happy to bend over backwards to spoil someone else,
but don't spoil yorself?"
For a while now, I have wanted
a fancy~elegant~showy~fun purse and scarf
to wear to the San Francisco Symphony and Opera.
So~now I have them! Yipee for me!
So~now I have them! Yipee for me!
and the lining and shoulder strap are silk.
The embossed button was a great find at a craft shop.
No pattern used~all from my little old brain and
creative thoughts.
I know I will feel "very over the top" wearing my
new purse and scarf.
Thanks to Natasha.
I love your new painting over your fireplace!
Very lovely design and colors.
Hugs, Dogwood

Beautiful! You did such a fabulous job on both the purse and the matching scarf. Love them! And that fabric... wow!
I took out some velveteen to make one of those scarves (from your tutorial), but of course I haven't done it yet. The fabric I have is the perfect width and length so I don't even have to cut it. I'll post a pic when (if) I get it done!
It's beautiful, Cory! I love that fabric. The scarf and purse look so good together and will look fantastic on you.
I got mixed up and thought that we were supposed to reveal our projects on Saturday. Natasha was kind enough to tell me not to stress and just do it then.
Yes, you are woman that knows how to treat herself properly! :0) They are beautiful.
Do drop by my place when you have a moment to see what I created....
Hugs,
Stephanie
You go girl! Gorgeous purse and scarf, elegant enough to be in a fancy boutique!!! Have a blessed day and congrats on you beautiful creation.
Well done! Every girl deserves special things to wear, your choice of fabric is wonderful
You will look stunning in this for the opera. I love how you created the purse to match the detail on the scarf. Stunning.

Your new purse and scarf are just beautiful. Chiffon. Just saying that word makes me think "feminine". Love the color choice. It is just exquisite!

Oh! That bag and scarf are gorgeous. I made a brown scarf with that same type of fabric for my daughter's wedding. It is so much prettier than store bought!
What a lovely bag and scarf. Just right for the Opera and a trip into the city. Thanks for visiting.
