Youngest

I made this for my baby cousin in about a day. The stitches are long so I could work with this one easily. Plus the yarn is easier to hide. {You probably have NO idea what I'm talking about-it's okay} The colors on the pattern book are much lighter, but I wanted a certain vibrancy.

Eyes Can See You

This is a glasses case. So cute, right! The face is originally made for someone for green eyes but I went with a golden yellow. That's my logo right to the right! This took me several hours to complete-a simple joy.

Buckle Up


It may seem odd, but this is my favorite purse so far. Yes, I used the same lining as I did for the black purse, but then you know why I love it so much! The buckle closure is held together with two magnets. This was a procrastination purse for me because for a while I wasn't sure how to assemble the pieces but I did it! It looks great worn with an orange dress.

Just Relax



Love, love, love is all I can say. I just love this creation of mine. It's a chaise lounge chair designed for a Barbie doll, but I decided to whip it up real quick for a birthday gift. It's white in the book, but I decided to have some fun with the colors. It took me maybe 10 hours to finish the chair-glued and everything, and 10 minutes to finish the pillow. Quite honestly I wish I'd never given it away, but I'll always have the memories! Just kidding. The 1st picture is here so you can see the tiny legs I spent an hour putting together. I don't know about you but I would recline on this thing! Design credits to Joyce Bishop.

In Need Of Variety



The pattern of this purse was simply A LOT of different stitch forms. I won't name them all but there are plenty. I just love the colors.

All Dressed Up


I don't have to ask to know this purse is a classic favorite. I did though and several people of the teenage variety have indeed asked the price for one of these bad boys! I adore the lining for this purse mostly because I'm into graphology, but also of course because it's just gorgeous. The gold chain really makes it stand out in my opinion. The strap goes around a bottom bead to close. It was sure a lot of fun to string the black beads to this purse.

America, The Fashionable



I have issues with the clasp on this purse, but nothing that can't be fixed. At first it didn't always close so I changed it and now it closes SOMEtimes. I had fun with the color scheme on this one. Again, though, with the book pattern being a bit off. I'm creative enough to work around that,  fortunately. I love the fabric I picked, it just screams patriotism. And the chain goes well with everything.

Basket Weave Paradise



This was simply a purse done using a purse form and the basket weave stitch. It was testing at times to complete this one because the book was slightly off from the actual form. Other than that it was fun-I only had one color to work from. Kinda scary though when I thought I was running out of the color! It was definitely fun picking out a bead for the strap to go around. I picked a tiny elephant! The gold chain I ordered for sure just makes this purse pop. The decorative flower/leaves on the purse don't look like they do on the book, but who cares. I love it!

Angels Fall


It was all fun and games until I came upon the top of the body of this purse when it was unfinished. It was just a bit difficult to deal  with the ribbon (the blue and pink you see) because one had to make sure it wasn't twisted when in place. I love this one, though, because it actually closes ( a string wrapped around the blue button) and it just looks nice! The fabric I picked is a favorite of mine and I made a big deal of making the best fairies be seen in the purse. Even though they are small, I lined the sides as well. I braided the strap myself.
