Jade Textured Fat Bottom Bag

In the previous post I ranted on and whined about having to sell the house I've lived in for 52 years, and said I had to put crocheting on the back burner.  Well, somehow I found time to crochet and found it to be very relaxing and fulfilling.

Instead of crocheting night and day I decided that I had to set aside some time for myself everyday to do what makes me feel good.  With that goal in mind I managed to squeeze in enough time to (almost) finish another Fat Bottom Bag.  I am pretty proud of this one, if I do say so myself.  I was afraid the lining wouldn't go with the yarn well enough but it does the job as far as matching, well, blending with the yarn and adds a twist to the semi-rugged looking textured yarn that I used:

Handles purchased against my will at Joann's for about $7.00.
Yarn, purchased at Joann's for $9.99 per skein and I used 2 skeins.
Lining also purchased at Joann's was only a couple bucks.

When you add it all up, selling the bag for $60 barely covers the cost of materials and definitely doesn't leave much for all my laborious hours of crocheting and sewing spent on this project.  I think I'd have to charge $80 for this bag and others like it that I use the expensive Red Heart Boutique Changes yarn.  (This one in the color Jade).  Especially if I use the expensive store bought handles.  I had these handles on hand, I wouldn't have gone out to purchase them for this bag - I could have crocheted a nice set of handles that would have been just fine, as I did for the Grey Textured Fat Bottom Bag in a previous post.  I had plenty of yarn left over to make handles but this bag happens to be for a friend whose favorite color is green and I wanted it to be especially nice for her as she's a specially lovely lady.

You're seeing photos below of a bag not quite done yet but I couldn't wait to post the bag; as I said, I'm pretty proud of this one.  What do you think?  Should I add an embellishment to the outside like a flower or bow or should I leave it as is, leaving it up to the beautiful textured yarn to be decorative enough on it's own?  Leave me a comment below and I'd surely appreciate your input.  ;-)

The handles aren't attached yet so they look cock-eyed. lol  (Lining below)

My stupid camera decides what colors things will be, not the objects that I'm shooting.  I don't know enough about digital cameras to adjust the lighting settings and all that stuff.  One of these days..  Anyway, the lining is much more green than it appears here, and so is the yarn for the bag, for that matter.  It is a deep, lightly dark shade of jade and the sparkly yarn in this skein is tinted green as well and it all blends beautifully together.

So - let me know what you think:  Embellishment or no embellishment.  If you think it needs something to spruce up the outside of the bag, what do you think would work well with all that texture?  There's a solidish ribbon, the metallic yarn, a heavier fuzzy yarn, a boulce', and others that make up the textures in the yarn.
