The Rainbow Bag

What do you think? Is this just the cutest little girly bag you’ve ever seen?! It may be gray and rainy outside in these parts, but ooooh–such rainbows are being created indoors. It’s truly been the best weather for sitting and playing with my pretty cotton and hooks.

005

While I was toting it around, working on it in lots of different places, time after time a mom would say to me, “Are you selling those someplace? I would totally buy one for my daughter.”  I say, probably not. But if you crochet, you can get the pattern right here.

006

For now though, I have a couple of little sweetie pies that will each get one for Christmas–of that, I’m certain. Isn’t it positively scrumptious to think of making and gathering and squirreling away treasures for Christmas?!

007

Once the gift bags are made, I may just have the “oomph” to keep going and make a zillion more.

I suspect so because making this one was the most dang fun I’ve had in a long, long time.

With a hook that is.

Sooooo…what do you think?
