That's so Haasome!

This entry has been in the works for quite a while and I've been quite the awful friend for not having written it up earlier and taken the appropriate pictures. A few months ago, I asked my friend Jessica from Haasome if she could make me a bag in this incredibly gorgeous teal material she uses for her wallets. ( I told her at some point that if I could, I'd marry the patterned cloth. heh )
Jessica made it with such intense labor as she described in a well written blog entry about the process behind the bag. I have used it often since and appreciated it and today, I found the perfect little outfit to go out with it into a sultry 85 degree NYC day. Cute polka dot shirt and khaki shorts to go with my delicate, polka dot bag:
I must show the inside of the bag - the deep turquoise colored lining with little pockets for all the little things I must carry with me (keys, phone, napkins apparently). A little bit of self promotion: my own crochet phone cozy! See, not only the owner of the cozy empire but also a member ;) Also please note my custom knitting needles I bought from Chelle last Christmas as a small gift to myself (or that was the excuse..) These are really great needles - I asked her to make them a custom length ( 8 inches ) as well since I was to use them in future train knitting that would facilitate my craftiness without poking those sitting near me. Also, the wood is so light that it doesn't tire me as my metal needles would. She's incredibly friendly and professional - definitely recommended for your knitting needles needs!I also highly recommend Jessica's (Haasome)'s shop! She has some very adorable wallets, pouches and aprons in her shop right now that you should definitely take a look at. I've been told that some purses of this sort would show up and hopefully this post will inspire some motivation. *hint hint* ;)
