Spring is here! Hooray!!!

Happy Spring everyone! This is what's on my table to brighten up the room. Carnations (my favourite flower) and daffodils - real sign of spring bought to me as a present. 


This weekend (like every other) has been super busy. On Saturday morning I gave a drama workshop, then spent the day buying bits and pieces for my bags, then went out.
However, I spent the whole Sunday spring cleaning. The whole day!! At least Radio 4 and backlog of Desert Island Discs kept me company. 
So, 9pm and I finally sat down. I am faced with a few design questions. The bag I am crocheting at the moment is almost done, but I can't decide what buttons to use and what colour crochet to use to do the seams. Here is my quandary in pictures (sorry one picture isn't the best):












So, the questions are: do I use orange or brown yarn for the seams? Do I use one or two buttons? Orange or green? Or both?
Now that I've finally sat down I'll experiment and see what works. My hunch is to go with two buttons and brown yarn. And I haven't even began sewing and I have to start with a new bag in the next few days. If only days were longer. Or better, if weekends were!

Happy Spring everyone and join me to see what colourful decisions I made for the new bag.

Hey dear, great bag really. I like brown button, it gives a bit more retro štih somehow... It's pale green,more contrast buttons will be fine... But of course whatever you decide will be great, I'm just thinking loud :-)
