Daisies

This special request handbag is for Marietta's sister.  Her only requirement was that it include at least one daisy.

I futzed around with daisy ideas before settling on these simple felt ones.  Crochet daisies just weren't "daisy enough" for me.  If you're interested in making your own felt daisies my daisy tutorial is available exclusively on Whip Up.

Whip Up's theme for this month is Simple Crafts. These daisies certainly fit that bill.  Whip Up is looking for article and tutorial submissions. Check out their submission guidelines.  Maybe there is something you could write up for them.

Once I figured out the daisies, I knew they'd only look right to me on a blue handbag ... daisies against the bright blue summer sky.  I put two daisies on each side of the bag.

I didn't think I'd have the right lining fabric in my stash ... but when I looked I rediscovered this great print.  How perfect is it?!

That bag is perfect - there's actually nothing more to say. I saw your tutorial over at Whip-up and liked it a lot :-)

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, dude. So good. So simple. Themed, but not over-the-top-cute. Subtle.

Yeah. Me? Ar-tic-u-late.

That is wonderful fabric and the yarn matches it so well. And of course who couldn't love daisies.

I am so behind on blog reading! i LOVE daisies. I still like the striped blood dripping bag best of all, but this one is so springy and refreshing.
