Little Purse

I've been wanting to try making this purse for awhile now. It was kind of easy. I sewed it backwards once and had to rip out the stitches. And not that you can tell but I sewed the top on upside down! It made it hard to line up the top seams, but like I said...YOU can't tell!! Live and learn. I think I want to find some sort of felt flower to sew on the front...or to give it a front anyway. I have a few gifts in mind so stay tuned for a few more!!!

Finding My Knitch....

So....I'm blogging! Or I'm going to try to. I've taken up a few crafty hobbies this year. Knitting and Sewing. I want to learn and get better. I wanted a place to show off my projects and brag about my progress.

Mary, one of the women I work with, taught me to knit. I made a few hats and a couple of scarves so far. Here is the first project. I loved the colors, but it turned out really skinny and I only knew the knit stitch at the time.

My SIL taught me how to make a pretty basic baby blanket. She made me a couple when I had my son, and she showed me how and I got addicted! Now I want to REALLY learn to quilt. Here are some of the baby blankets I've made for friends and family...






These are in the wrong order...my first is at the bottom. I made this one for my friends Steve and Stephanie's new baby boy Gage. The middle was my second blanket that I made for my mom's lake house. And the top blanket I made for a woman I work with who is adopting a baby girl from China.
