I haven't yet told you but I have been secretly extracting advice from your equally crafty counterpart, aka Donk, about *possibly* buying a sewing machine. You two ladies have inspired me.

It's too cute! Plus, I like the gift and it wasn't free, IYKWIM.<BR/><BR/>And yes, the job does let me bring the pooch in. It's fun and she gets to take a lot of naps in between playing with all the other dogs. <BR/><BR/>Jane - I am horrified that someone would A. buy paper plates and B. waste paper wrapping them and C. Consider them a gift. <BR/><BR/>Tinker-I love orange - and lime green. Together. And it's apparently cropping up all over. Love it. Yeah - we bring our dogs in and let them shed all over the office. :)<BR/><BR/>Kell - Rocket does NOT know. But that's ok, I gave her a bed and she still chooses to sleep on the Goodwill pile in the back of the closet OR right on my pillow. <BR/><BR/>Meg - I'm glad you feel that way about the gift wrap - I feel like the wrapping is part of the gift now. Did I mention I made a matching card with sewed on fabric and monogram? It's cute, too.FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-26706540496070349652007-07-18T11:32:00.000-07:002007-07-18T11:32:00.000-07:00OK, first: LOVE the gardening bag.

I say the wrapping can bring up a gift rather than highlight its lesser-ness (or whatever.) By the same token, crappy wrapping can detract from what was a great gift. Well, at least that's how I feel when I throw my crap-wrapped fine gift at someone: somewhat deflated. So good for you all around!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-87696117856634477182007-07-18T09:58:00.000-07:002007-07-18T09:58:00.000-07:00Wow.

Orange is my colour of choice apparently. It's just been this year, I used to steer clear of orange or yellow, and now I like them both. A lot. And even more together. <BR/><BR/>The fabric is gorgeous. I haven't seen it before.<BR/><BR/>And you get to take your dogs to work?

I...Um you have brought up one of my pet peves here! I get a lot of presents as a teacher and often the wrapping is better. Once I got a package fit for a queen. I spent days before Christmas imagining what splendid thing would have been so delicately gift wrapped at Neiman Marcus. It was paper plates! Yes a package of pretty paper plates, but still just paper plates. I wanted to cry. I could have just kept that pretty present for a decoration for the rest of my life, but I tore the paper and I could never get the bow back on right. So now when I see a REALLY nice gift wrap job, I hardly want to open it!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764437077561164662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-16252094250661501272007-07-17T20:09:00.000-07:002007-07-17T20:09:00.000-07:00You're so funny.

Did I miss something here? Do you work in one of those cool places that let you bring your dog? I'd have me a new dog if my employer were that cool! Great recovery on the boudoir bag -- although I'm still hoping you'll give the vinyl another try -- I think that was a really cool idea!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809008266578798843noreply@blogger.com
