- Andrea: Thank you SOOO much for the wonderful explanation!! I think I understand. I'll have to purchase a clasp thing (would truly appreciate the website you use) and then proceed from there. If I run into difficulties at that point (give me a while!!!!), I will certainly email you. You are so sweet to take the time to answer me both so quickly and with such detail - I'm so grateful for your help.
Will chat with you again soon I'm sure!

- I just saw your gorgeous Victorian style bags on CQ Mag online! I've been itching to try one (as I make all kinds of CQ purses), but have not been able to find a pattern OR instructions for how to put the metal handle on - it looks really difficult to me! Could/would you please direct me to a site/store/tutorial for this type of purse? I would so very much appreciate it.
You are my inspiration for trying to accomplish this!! I adore your work!
thanks so much,
de crow

- Hi Andrea says Maggie waving from Sunny and warm Ontario, Canada.
I have never been to your part of the world, but my hubby has and he raved about it....I guess your seasons are reverse to ours.
So you make bags and sell them... Me too... I supply a couple of boutiques with my dolls, bags, journals , beaded bracelets and beaded healing spirits.... It keeps me busy doing what i Love.
This is a fun place to be and I hope to learn and share with all of you talented gals.
xoxo

Jo in NZ said… - Of course you may use the tag idea. It is not mine. There was an article in the last issue of CQMagOnline. We are doing a swap on one of my groups. They are handy, and a neat idea for a quick gift as you say.
I am in Auckland. Would rather be where you are....
