Oh so clever! And we are scarf twins although I don't think I could ever replicate that bag.....
I find out the trick to make this bag look good is the insert has to be strong to keep its shape, and not too wide so the bag will look skinny and stay symmetrical. All the handles must be equals and 1 hand in length.
I hope I will see your bag soon :giggle:
I have my home made insert and I made it thicker just to use for scarf bag.
I also tugs all the left over from the sides inside to make it look good. 8528A035-957D-43F8-8597-BE6E64F57D1A.jpeg

For those needing an easy strap solution, here’s one I did using some of my miles of H ribbon :P

I was actually able to get a hair cut and color last week, as my salon did top grade medical preparation in sanitizing, dividers, fewer clients, and every single client and employee wearing a mask, new air filters, hospital grade disinfection etc. and no hair dryers allowed (one of the primary ways virus spreads in a salon). They did all contactless payment, temp checks, and the whole salon was distanced and at 33% of stylists and clients. I was nervous beforehand, afterwards I felt safer there than I do in the park where no one wears a mask or social distances. They did a top notch job, and it had been 4! Months since a cut and color. It wasn’t pretty.

They did ask people not to carry a handbag, but because I had my glasses, keys and phone and didn’t want to set them down anywhere I actually wore an LV pochette to which I tied an H ribbon for exact right length for crossbody that didn’t show too much under my tunic. I did have a suspicious bump, but no one cared. I just wore the bag for my whole service and the ribbon was quite comfortable. FYI jic anyone has a similar need. Then I cleaned my pochette after getting home and I’m going to throw away the ribbon.

I am giggling when I read the bump part and my imagination just flash back to those day I was first time pregnant :giggle: . I was 7 months pregnant but there was a tiny bump, nobody would guessed that I was pregnant. Those day was 23 years ago. Now with out anything under my shirt ,I always have suspicious bump:lol:
Thanks for your ribbon idea. I will copy it for my Evelyn if I decide to have a haircut later.:happydance:
 
Hello lovelies one and all! Happy Friday - as if Friday feels different than other days right now!

I have a question for the group. I have been looking for small Ulysses notebook covers on h.com, all I see are refills. Did they d/c these? Are they boutique only? I love my anemone MM Ulysses, and thought I would show her off with my Marlene Dietrich Mont Blanc Fountain pen (a gift to myself after finishing grad school some years ago). I fell in love with this fountain pen because of the tie and collar with the little sapphire - so evocative of her. Nothing like writing on heavy stock with an excellent fountain pen, especially for thank you’s. That’s part of what I love about Ulysses and the wonderful journals I found as inserts.

I love and use tech all the time, in fact I’m tech support at home and elsewhere :Pbut I also love old school stationery, notebooks, pens, just about any “school supplies”. Any intel on these wonderful little notebooks appreciated :flowers::smile:

Well, I finally finished my Graff Scarf craft project. (It’s been decades since I sewed anything other than a dislocated button onto a shirt). I intended to do it all by hand but finally bought a sewing machine to make the cases. I did hand stitch the scarves onto the fabric so that they wouldn’t be destroyed if I messed up and had to remove them.
My SA told me that the Beverly Hills store makes pillows for clients, but after seeing everyone else’s projects, I decided to do it myself...a decision I questioned several times. But, now that it’s over, I’m glad I did it.

I assigned each pillow to a painting because that’s just how I am:

Great job, they look really nice!
But mostly, thank you for showing your beautiful paintings once again! I love your taste. And wanted to let you know that thanks to one of your earlier posts I subscribed to the newsletter of Saatchi Art. Nothing bought yet, but probably one day. :ty:

Your art! Just terrific! Great job on the pillows. They really do complement the paintings. Incredible!

Thank you! I found that buying my first painting was much like buying my first designer bag. It was both exciting and a bit scary at the same time.
Saatchi is one of my favorite galleries because they promote both new artists and artists in other countries. I still roam around on their site occasionally, despite the fact that I feel my collection is pretty much complete at this time.
