Well, I managed to get one purse done,
Her tail is looped at the back, to hold your keys,
or a teeny tiny friend.
Her arm has a little snap fastening, she has polka dot lining, and she's about the right size to hold those oh-so important credit cards.
She's a bit wonky (aren't we all ), and although fun to make, was very time consuming, so I might turn some of the drawings into softies instead.
Tomorrow is for starting my MOS sock monkey, I don't know if anyone else is the same, but I always seem to leave things til the last possible moment, and then I'm rushing around like a headless chicken.
Speaking of headless chickens, I got a fantastic one in the post this week.
Confused ?, Puzzled ?, Worried ?.
I'll show you tomorrow.
Love the purse. Show us the chicken. Don't keep us in suspenders.

All I can say is CUTE, CUTE, CUTE! Amazing detail! That MUST have been time consuming with all those teeny pieces.
