The body is a collection of mysterious organs; yes?Why, for example, am I typing up a post at 5:26 am, two cups of coffee into the day?
Because my eyes popped open at 4:00 and refused to behave after that.I really am getting old.
Today's bag comes to you from the archives. Well, that is- if you can call finding a half finished bag in a stack of fabric in the basement "the archives".The pants that form pockets beneath the flap: I distinctly remember that these came from a ballet dancer in Winnipeg who cleaned up a closet and passed over a box of remnants, and a pair of pants. I think it's kind of funky to have a ballet dancer's pants on a bag. It's the closest I've ever come to dance myself.
(I think that' s from a shirt that Roo gave me....)It forms a side panel pocket. There is one on each side.
View from behind.
I put in a pocket from my own bottoms, just for the sake of equality.(and to flesh out that whole "I'm part of a dance troupe now" fantasy.)
Yup. That's me. Just hanging out with the skinnies at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.

As much as you wish you could still be sleeping, you have to admit that some quiet time at 4 am isn't all bad.
I'm realistic enough to recognize that I could never be a dancer, grace and poise have never been my strong suits. But the bag is cool even if it doesn't inspire me to put on a leotard. $25.
Neat bag!
$30
love the juxtapose dancing energy of this bag!
cheers,
Ginny 2-step
Another quilt - beautiful. Reminds me of my mom, and all the wonderful women and quilts in our family.
I love the stories you put in these bags.
Tanya. Could you put on a leotard anyway? Pleeeeeeeease?
I can't even walk. (you should see my wedding video. Girl in lovely vintage dress teeter tottering up the aisle)
Ginny- you're a tough one to keep up with. It's friday- you could shorten it to just "gin" you know.
Janice- couldn't you set up a blog so I can see the quilts? Pleeeease? Tanya said she'd wear a leotard for me. the least YOU could do is post some photos of family quilts....
;)
Likin it!! Hope you get it this time Ali :)
And Joyce - THANKS for fixing my well loved bag (and for putting a label on it ~~ AWESOME!!) YOU are awesome and amazing for serving in a way that is pretty unique.
I love the bag! Recently came across your blog and I'm so glad I did. Will you ship to Alaska?
$40

Hey Joyce, love the bag and all the pockets! I'm a sucker for pockets.
Here's another confession, I'm a details person. Ok, nit-picky. I noticed your sidebar has a minimum bid posted at $45. :)
Keep those pocket laden bags coming!
Pam- it was a pleasure, really. The bags are like relatives to me.
Kelly- that would be another pleasure! I don't think we've entered Alaska yet. New York- yes. Alaska? no. But I would be so happy to send it there. e-mail me at re-joyce@mts.net with your address so that I can find out how much shipping would be.
Pg- I know. I knowIknowIknow!
Every time that I type in "$25 starts it off", I remember that this does not coincide with my sidebar. But do I change it? noooooooo. That sidebar info is from back in the day when things were a little hot around here- after the free press article. Now we've simmered back down to reasonable.
Must Change Sidebar.
Keep those comments coming!
well, since you're dancing ANYWAY...maybe i should make you one of these AMAZING tutu's i've discovered on some crafting website. heh??? what do you think? i'll even add buttons!!!!!!!!!
