<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I usually stick to easy things</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I thought I would share</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">a bag pattern </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">that I am having fun with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had a request for this fringed bag</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and when I first saw it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was a little intimidated</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> by the leather strap </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and setting rivets</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But it was really easy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I must say Im hooked on crocheting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">these cute fringed bags</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and its fun picking out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large; text-align: left;">embellishments </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">for the flap</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I made the first one </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and one of the girls </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I work with </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">fell in love with it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and bought it instantly!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">After making these I decided to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">try a different color and handle type</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The pre-made leather strap </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">comes only in one size</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and is not long enough</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">to wear as a cross body bag</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So I made my own strap</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">from a faux leather fabric</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I found at Hobby Lobby</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The strap is adjustable so you can</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">wear over your </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">shoulder </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">or cross body</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I started looking around on Ravelry</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">made the square into a</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">since I have used #10 thread and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">a 1.00mm hook</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This was very challenging</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and it took me </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">a few tries but</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was determined to make this!</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Using this method leaves both ends</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">of your yarn at the top of the stitch</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I just tie them together and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">weave in the ends across the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">top of my stitches</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">That way I can just crochet</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">over them in the next round</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I LOVE not having all the ends</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">For a while I have been wanting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">a vintage silver Christmas tree</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I looked at them on Etsy and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Ebay and even told Tracy</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">to keep an eye out for one</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A few weeks ago I went into</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Kohls to buy a bra...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">my least favorite thing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">in </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">the world to do...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and spotted 2 seven foot silver trees</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">sitting in the center of the </span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They had been used as </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">display trees</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">for their Christmas ornaments</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and I had lovingly admired them</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">the last time I was there</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">After looking at their website</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">to see if I could have one</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">of my very own</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I found out that those</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">trees </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">were $499.99!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Don't think so</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Anyway...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I looked...walked away..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">looked again…walked away </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">…and </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">came back again</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was calling my name..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">After having a discuss </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">with the store manager</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">(because I had a price of $100 or less in my head)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">it was decided that I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">could have an additional</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">30% off the $124.99 price</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So I brought it home</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and set it </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">in my living room</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Admiring my new tree </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">each day</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I didn't want </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">to put it away</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">for a l o n g year</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I decided it needed a skirt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">to match my collection of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">vintage Shiny Brites</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">that will </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">adorn it next year</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So I went thru my stash of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">yarn and found the colors</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Its nice to start off the new year </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">with a finished project</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My daughter wanted a blanket</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">with green, purple and a little pink</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I teased her that she wanted an</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Easter egg blanket</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I tried a few patterns that</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">well...just didn't work out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">with these colors</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So I resorted back to my </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">favorite - the granny square</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I love making granny squares</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">they go so fast and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">its mindless crochet</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> She didn't want a pom-pom edge</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">so I went with something</span></div>
