Took a class last night and this is ,what acutally turned out to be, my ADORABLE "tulip bag". I am unsure exatly why its called a tulip bag, but think it has to do with the panels you cut, they reminded me of flower petals. It's suppose to only take two hours, but I have no idea when they start timing, as took a good hour just to cut all the fabric, batting, durabond etc, let alone all the sewing after that, more like a 3-4hour project. But still very worth it! (all I need now is a cutie button) The next pic below,shows my lovely pockets. I put two big ones and one small on outside, and one big with one small on inside... Look at all the stashing space! I did the JUMBO size, which is basketball size, so plenty big to use as a purse or, as I'm thinking, a knitting bag. But, who knows, it was easy enough that I could make several more and then use one as a purse too, lol.
The new “Anita Blake” novel came out this week, and I really like it for the most part. I like that Anita and Richard both to seem to have “grown up” not as much personal or inner drama, drama, drama. I am glad the oh so much worried about “death” in this book didnt turn out to be someone I really love in this series. I have seen several others leave low approval of this book as Anita doesnt do much cop/marshal work, but she did help out as a marashal in a very big way I thought. And I really liked that this time she didnt have a bunch of bigoted male cops or agents to treat her like crap as they always seem to do previously. I especially liked how “love” is the major weapon that is needed to win this new war beginning.
