I can't stand on my head - or even bend over too far! - without getting a headache. I think adding a sneeze into that would push me over the edge - quite literally - or else I'd be happy to help you out with the chuckle thing. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that bag! So cute!

ReplyDeleteZowie, how cute but how sad your sewing machine is down but sounds like maybe not out and will come back in the 9th :} I hate when a sewing machine is not working. Makes it hard to smile in the morning. Thanks for the morning smiles.
ReplyDeleteWhen I took my sewing machine in for a tune up, I almost cried. The thought of having it out of my house was really distressing, but then again, I'm a little crazy like that :)

ReplyDeletehttp://www.rhinestonebeagle.blogspot.com/
You have my sympathy! I've been having trouble with my machine for over 20 years.
ReplyDeleteYour post just made me laugh out loud. As I've been reading through some of these giveaways's I've thought "geez do I need to stand on one leg and close one eye while I comment." The bag is very cute.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you. My 'modern' sewing machine does nothing but act up. So I jumped on the chance to get a 'antique' 1950's industrial sewing machine from my dad. He just finished cleaning (it was *full* of lint!) and making some minor (changed one of the pulleys so it is running at about 300 stitches a minute vs the original spec 1800.) so that what I sew isn't ripped from my hands.
ReplyDeleteYour bag is beautiful, someone is going to be really happy to get it!
Cute bag! Hopefully the repairs go smoothly! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the bag! Ginger tea usually helps anything!
ReplyDeleteI know how it is when the machine is not working right. I hope it gets fixed soon. I saw a blue bird at my window today so cute. it made my day.
ReplyDeletelauri dot rymar at gmail dot com
machine down! That's no good. Hope it gets fixed quick! Great bag, btw!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute bag ... hope that sewing machine of yours is on the mends.
ReplyDeleteHow relieving - just a comment! I like your style, lady.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm sure it's frustrating to have your sewing machine broken. Hope it's fixed soon! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteravensrascals at gmail dot com

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome bag! Birds are so in, aren't they?
ReplyDeletevery cute bag.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could stand on my head. That would be funny with or without the sneeze.
ReplyDeleteHope your machine shapes up - that is so frustrating!
Love the bag!

I love the bag (and the fabric too, so I know you'll have great taste with the alternate fabric)! I hope you're feeling better and that machine gets whipped into shape.
