I finished my purse finally. I gave the last one to my mother so I had to get started on a new one for myself. I was carrying around a small brown purse that I had gotten from a thrift store to use the handles off of which are the handles I used here on the purse. Not too bad for 0.99. Can't buy store bought handles for that price. I really like to recycle purses when I can. I actually have one last thing to do it. I chose to use a button closure and I thought I knew what I wanted on this purse but once I had it finished, it just wasn't quite the right look. So I figure I will find the right button soon enough and then it will be complete. We will see how long I get to carry this purse now before I find a new home for it. Thanks for looking.

TOTAL NEGLECT

I must say, I spend more time visiting other people's blogs than I spend attending my own. I am new at this and trying to stay focused. I have been working on my jewelry as the weather has been getting warmer and that makes me less anxious to knit or crochet. Here is my latest piece. Like what you see?
