I think I would spend my time running my hand up and down the raw wool.
I'm glad you post the links to your blog on FB. Easier to follow blog posts... more...in my face ahahaha

Mariana--Hahaha...I do that, too...and once in a while I even find a bit of VM (vegetable matter)! :)
Cathy--Thank-you!
SUPER ! Goes so well with leather.
This is great!
Very cool idea, I love it!
With the raw fleece surface, it'd be like carrying around a little lamb :-)
Thanks, ladies!
Vivian-A bit less 'squirmy', I think!:)
Its gorgeous Heather! Using the suede side out for the strap was a good idea, it's just the right touch for this bag

Thanks, Deborah! XO

I'm glad you like it, Andrea!
Now, as you wait in a long line to check out, you can stand there feeling your bag and letting the soft fleece comfort you. Very nice indeed! :)
