Purse Accessories

Pin It Now!

My sister-in-law gave me a gift, a very nice purse. When my other sister-in-law saw this purse, she told me that it would look prettier if I accessorize it, like a scarf on its handle. When I got home I realized, I could make a crochet accessory instead. So I looked for an idea on the internet for a pattern I could do. 
Guess what, I found an illustration pattern. I found it on facebook, I don't know if this is a japanese or chinese pattern but it helped. Actually it was a pattern for a stole but I adjusted its length shorter than the original pattern so it would fit my purse's handle.

I think it looks great! Thank's Lala for the purse, and thank's Mandy for inspiring me to do this accessory.

MY CREATIONS HAVE BEEN SENT TO THEIR GLORY.

Pin It Now! Today, I had to inventory all my creations so I could catalog them for a garage sale. Before I put them up for sale, I was going to offer them to my sister-in-laws and gift it to them. Imagine my surprise when Mandy tried on the first one and she immediately liked it. I offered her more and she said "I'm so happy you are giving me all these."

This has got to be the best reward I have received in a while. I am always so happy that people like my creations, and they actually use them. I can't wait for pictures from Mandy.


Here are some of my many creations;

This is the first time i took a photo of myself wearing my own project. It looks very nice with me wearing it. I was flattered when my daughter looked at me and said I was beautiful wearing my finished crochet project. The absolute best compliment I have ever received. I love it ...
