Purse Accessories

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.

MY CREATIONS HAVE BEEN SENT TO THEIR GLORY.

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 ...
