I LOVE her bags! She has such a wonderful eye for colour and design. I would love to win :-)
The skill I'd really like to have is to know how to knit! I have so many friends who can knit all sorts of nifty things, but I just seem to have dumb fingers!
I would love to play a musical instrument of some sort.
I wish I had learned to speak 1 other language fluently. Lessons will be my gift to my future ??grandchildren.
I love these fabrics!! Thanks!
Gorgeous - but which gadget to cover? :)
Love these bags! Wish I had learned to sew like this. My Mom can, but neither of us had the patience for me to learn!
I would love to include a Borsa Bella with the new Kindle we're giving MIL for Christmas!
Being a yogi, I would love to be able to play the harmonium used during Kirtan or devotional chanting!
One day...

I regret not continuing with music lessons. I would love to be the chick who could sit down at any piano and start playing. Adorable bags!!!
I don't regret learning German. I'd also love to learn how to play the ukulele. I have one but I'm terrible at it, heh. I fear my fingers are too stiff from typing all the time though. :\
I wish I'd taken voice lessons.
Hey - there's still time :)
Great giveaway. the products are beautiful.
Hmmm, my "what-if" moment is probably not continuing piano lessons as a child whole heartedly.
I really wish I had learned to sew or maybe do backhandsprings.... How totally different are those two things? LOL! I love all things Borsa Bella - what a treat a $50 gift certificate would be!
I would like to have learned French properly also. I took French in high school but goofed off the entire time didn't learn anything. Recently I have been looking for an app on my phone for French tutorials.
I won some cookies yesterday, my first blog win, so who knows? Maybe I'm on a roll?
I would love to have learned to bake properly. Also, followed on FB for both Piewacket and BB.
Adorable! I love her stuff.
I love to be able to program. I do so many calculations the long way in excel, and I know I could save time if I would do them in python. The problem with learning to program is that slows down my work while I'm learning, so I keep going back to excel.
I wish I could play the guitar I've been dragging around for 10 years.
I would love to learn to play the flute. It is one of the things on my bucket list!
If I had to just pick one it would probably have to be Spanish. Really should have listened better in class - really would have been useful!
Moe you rock, great quality in all you do!
I regret never getting a waitressing job when I was younger. I think it would make me better at small talk and noticing details and stuff. And maybe I wouldn't be a klutz anymore :\
I really wish I had spent more time learning how to sew or knit, 2 things my mother does well and tried to teach me. Unfortunately I never did seem to get the hang of it, no matter how hard I tried. I suppose there is always still time. I really love my Borsa Bella Kindle bag!
Love those patterns! Very beautiful stuff!
Oh, there are so many things I wish my feeble brain was capable of.......everytime I watch 'Amelie' I want to learn to speak French, or a romance language. I wish I could knit, make a quilt, hem pants properly, play guitar and dance with grace - And, make a pie crust.
I wish I could have stuck with learning a language. The problem is that I have a hard enough time with my own language that trying to learn grammar in Spanish or German was a nightmare. My mom loves to tease me about the one and only time I asked for her help with my Spanish (she's fluent). I don't remember the Spanish version but the English translates to "I wash myself myself." Good job me!
My mom is a talented sewer (she even has an industrial machine to do heavy-duty work). My sister learned a lot from her and always made her own formal dresses and Halloween costumes. I tried a few things but my perfectionism got in the way.... I wish I knew more. (I know I still have time though! I'm hoping for a sewing machine for Christmas. :D)
I loooove this! Thanks for the giveaway.
I absolutely regret not learning German while I was living in Germany as a kid. I also regret not trying hard enough to learn Spanish when I got older. I know a lot of the language but just can't piece together the sentence.
I wish I had continued the piano lessons my parents had forced me to take when I was younger. Or learned a second langauge.
