Finally finished this bag! I got the pattern of the lady from a japanese embroidery book, then I changed the dog, since I like dachshund better....but I guess I'm not the greatest cartoonist :p. I added some flower bullions on the lady's skirt and decided to put the tree with the dog :). I then made the lining and made the bag reversible :). I'd say this is a library bag :D or whatever bag you want it to be...It's been made with a lot of love.

another great bag, I did comment on the other bag too but forgot to leave my email address so here it is: jhargreaves@att.net.
As for my new years resolution, my goal for the upcoming year is just to continue on the trajectory I am on now by continuing to connect with other sewers and crafters online and getting my things out there too. I have decided to just sew what interests me and stop over-thinking!
This bag really appeals to me because of the embroidery, it truly makes the bag an original piece of art! I can see myself walking to the library with it!
Li!!!! I have to win this bag!!!!!!

I love embroidery. Your bag is beautiful. Such a lot of work. You are a generous lady. My New Years resolution...Hmmm. I am going to work on turning my hobbies into a business (so I can work for myself and never have to work for another again!) While maintaining a calm and happy approach to parenthood. Whoa. That's a tall order. Thanks for taking the time to stop by the blue shed Lia.
aww these are so lovely!!

I'll spend my new year at home with my family!

hmm, why I like this bag- hard to say but it's the embroidery that makes it. I reckon, without that it would be a pretty cool bag, with that it's an awesome bag.
and new years resolutions? I am not very good at them, so will have the same one as last year, to get a bit fitter.
love that bag!! really really gorgeous :))
my new year will be at home with friends and family :))
please count me in!!

I'm doing lots of embroidery - this bag is so cute! New Years Resolution - stay positive, quiting day job to pursue crafting as a career is going to be worth it!!
My new year's resolution is going to be to remember to take life one day, even one moment, at a time. I get so caught up in what might happen or what is going to happen that I forget about what IS happening!!
I love this bag, because it is gorgeous and because it is different and because the colors sing to me!

I love the bag!
Forgot to say, my new year's resolution is to clean the basement craft room- so basically, the same as every other year... oh, well. I can dream, right?
Hi!
That bag is super sweet. The doggy looks just like my pup Sherman.
Resolution: to cook at home more.
thanks!

Adorable bag. I would gift it to my sister who has a dog that looks like the one that you embroidered.
My new years resolution is to finally get my sewing room organized.
My resolution will be to try to spread kindness with sewing projects. The bag on Giveaway #3 is so charming and useful. It would be perfect for me and my son weekly on library day! The bag is just lovely!
i love all of your creations! you are talented!

i love this bag because i love daschaunds! the leash wrapping around is fantastic! i don't have a new year's resolution

What a great bag! Your embroidery is wonderful. I love how the dog wraps around to the other side.
My new year's resolution is what it always is - diet, diet, diet.
Your bag is so beautiful! I love the fabrics and the embroidery is so precious. I wouldn't know which side to carry to the outside!
My resolution next year is going to be to eat better. I want to eat more whole foods and less processed food. I want to feed my family better, healthier meals.
Terima Kasih!

my new years resolution started early, this week: no more fast food! made a pinkie-swear pact with my boyfriend :)
i LOOVE the little doggie, and the colors of the bag!
This is so cute! I love the idea of a reversible bag because you can change things up with out having to have two bags. The embroidery is just adorable too.
My new year's resolution is let go and de-clutter. I am in the process of simplifying my life. Possibly why this bag is so appealing.
this is the cutest bag EVER. thank you so much for the opportunity!

(a) my new year's resolution is cliche but it is not be more active and start swimming and taking yoga classes again
(b) I love that this bag is reversible and I could change the look depending on my mood (and outfit of course)
thanks for sharing!

Like everyone to lose some weight and exercise regularly.
I like the bag b/c your embroidery is SO cute.
My new years resolution is to learn to sew, and eat more vegetables. :)I love the bag because it's very whimsical. The embroidery is beautiful.
very nice bag! please enter me to win!
my new year's resolution...well I don't usually make them as I feel that if I notice something in my life that needs improving I make the effort to change it right away rather than waiting until the new year...
every year I strive to read more books than the year before

I absolutely love this bag. You must have so much time invested in it and you are so talented!! I would love to use it for a library bag. :-)

I have two resolutions for the New Year - learn to ride a bike and learn to knit. Your embroidery is so cute!
My new year's resolution is actually to finish one of my manymanymany afghans that I have started this year. I love making them I love crocheting but for some reason I can never finish them I just get so sick of the same one, the same color, alllll the time. So, for my new year resolution I want to finish ATLEAST one of them. and I can't really penpoint one thing that drew me to this bag. I just love it. it's so beautiful and unique and I love your embroiderying!
