Thank you to *everyone*. 
Hubby and I are just so happy for her, because you can actually *see* her drawing confidence from how far she's come in her training. We're hoping that feeling, as well as the relationships/connections she's built at the kung fu center, will help see her through the teen years.
And yes, I *love* my little Eva, and am dying to use her on Mother's Day. I've always thought this pattern was *sooo* pretty, just had to get past the ghosts of white bags.
She is tall --- relative to her body-build. Tall and thin, but has some killer muscles in those arms, doing push-ups better than most boys her age. The teachers call her "small but mighty".
I've considered Stresa in the past, but kept worrying about all the things I could possibly bump a larger, "white" bag into. Then I considered the crossbody (siracusa?). ... Same worries. ....... But you know, with this recent, messy, salty, grimey winter, my canvas bags *never* had a problem being wiped down and coming out perfect. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that even though DA is white, it's still the coated canvas. (Crosses fingers and jumps into the pool along with you.
)
She's just shy of twelve now, will be getting braces in a month, and starting junior-high/middle-school in the autumn. Yep, she's growing up. I look at her every day and think, "Wow, is that the same little two-year-old who spent as much time as possible in my lap?"
