Hello, hello! I have not posted any of the many projects I have completed in the past few months so I thought I would take the time to do so now. Why no posts you say, well that would be because I have worn my hand muscles to a frazzle due to crocheting like a mad woman. lol Seriously, I needed to rest them so I have been reading on my Kindle for the past month .... & my hands seriously THANK ME! lol
Ok, on to my projects. I have made several cute handbags, slippers, hats, fingerless gloves (which I absolutely love), hair baubles, and even a dishcloth! I found a very cute pattern for a zebra hat (my grand daughter Madison loves zebras) so of course had to make it. It was easy to follow and worked up so well that I had to create a zebra purse to go along with it! A word for the wise here; when designing a pattern, always write it down as you are working it, it just makes life a little easier when trying to re-create that pattern! Ugh, I did not do this and regret it. I created the zebra purse pattern, fully lined it with inside pockets and all in a complimenting fabric. This purse has a magnet closure, and the lengthy handle that has a removable clasp so it can be shoulder length or shortened for hand held. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the look & feel of the purse. I have since written the pattern and instructions for future use.
