I just lost my chalkbag on the Smith Rock trip.
My loss is your gain! Just bought the Golden Lotus Flower Big Dipper.
Looking forward to it - safe travels Terrie!
The kitten shot is so stinkin' cute!

Thanks Erik!
Coz - Your PM feature is disabled. How about we meet when I get to JT and you can view personally.
Unfortunately I didn't get more Big Dippers done yesterday, except the one Indiana, which has been purchased. The "Sort Of" Big Dipper above might work well for you, but since I will be in JT think it is better to stick your mit in it and see for yourself. Also, some people who say "I have BIG hands" try the Little Dippers and find them just right, since they are bigger than say a Black Diamond bag.
Oh yeah - That kitten picture is so cute! I hope you did let the cat outa the bag eventually, though!

Got my gifted chalk bag, thanks to who ever is responsible.
I have a major problem with it though, it is too nice to put chalk in!
So soft, well made and brown. I like brown. I might use it as an evening bag.

Glad you like it Julia!
Yes, you can use them for minibags! You can run a slim belt through the loops and have it on your hip, or one way to convert to a shoulder bag might be to buy a length of sutash or other nice cording, run it through each loop and tie a fisherman's or other knot. Making the strap long enough to wear the bag bandolier style will have it lay in a nice position on your boy, closer to front instead of on the side straight down(as a handbag designer, I went through the phase where everyone was wearing their bags this way - especially in NYC where it provides more security).
I am in Kentucky today, near Lexington. Need to figure out a drive-around from that metro area and then I intend to take the day on small roads and enjoy scenery!

Gonna bump my own thread! Because I have caught up with sewing and....
Chalkbags make a good holiday gift for a climber... Not only in and of themselves, but you can use the bag as a "stocking"
 Fill it with goodies and lay at the base of bed on XMas eve(That's that's what Santa used to do for ME! Not a chalkbag of course, but still - candy, sweets, mmm...memories)
Include a gift certificate for a membership at the local gym, access fund, or local gear shop
For guys who have girlfriends who climb just to be with them, and are ready to rope up in a bigger way.... placing the engagement ring in the chalkbag, and when they (disapointedly) say "gee, thanks..." go on to exclaim how soft and luxe the lining is! When they put their hand in(maybe with a look on their face that will make you hope to HELL they find the ring fast).... oh, how romantic!
Thanks to everyone who has supported the chalkbag gig in words as well as orders. As I said - I am caught up with sewing, and all open orders have been shipped. IF you have placed an order and have not gotten an email confirming that your order has been shipped - PLEASE let me know asap. I will find out what's what!

Here are those last two, finished up! The brown one, Indiana, has been spoken for in the Big Dipper size(as shown) and I am waiting confirmation from that person. But it is also available in the Small Dipper size.
The red one, Redrum, I have 2 pieces in Small Dipper, and one which is Long& Lean. I think it is just a little too slim to be a Big Dipper, but for most people, it will be plenty big. Long and Lean is good for those who like to stick their hands deep and get a full coat when dipping.
Updating the website now but for some reason the platform is balky on me...grrr.

So Lockers new business is Positive Resoles and Paint, Not PhotoShop, Pros.
Looks like Elvis is getting around Rich! Wonder if the Gunks will have the non-winter as last year, or get it's ass kicked in blizzards...Sunny and low 5's for tomorrow, not bad for middle of November!
Oh...and definitely can stand to sell some more chalkbags if anyone is still considering!
Rich - Locker was a professional photographer, BITD. He can't help himself. I wish his BITD wasn't SO far BITD, and we could see some of his images.
Locker - you MUST rememeber some of the mags/shoot descriptions on some...I am sure there are archives from some of the magazines which have an online version. Got links???
