Where have I been, you might ask. I've been very STUCK on this project. I didn't know how to move forward and was determined not to hide it in a drawer unfinished and move on to something else. I really liked creating the bag but then what? I totally thought it needed fringe but couldn't come up with anything I liked or at least not with the beads I have on hand. (Did I mention that my bead store is no more?) So I put it in the drawer after all but took a break from beading for a while. My sister saw it and remarked that she didn't think it needed fringe. Oh! Why didn't I think of that? But it did need something and I think the beads on the bottom are exactly right.

The strap begins blue on the blue side of the bag and brown on the brown side which maybe you can't even see in the photos. The back is solid navy blue with twinkly white and yellow stars. The blue on front and bag is much darker than the photo shows.

I do like the bag but thought I was going to love it :-)
