Whimsey Black Cat

January 17, 2014

 Well, I'm still not finished my hooked purse 

but I'm almost there!

I spent lots of time reading over the directions,

 trying to understand what it is I'm suppose to do!! 

Most of the confusion was how to sew the lining

but I think I finally got it all figured out 

and hope to put it all together soon.

When I feel like doing something more relaxing 

I'll go to my hooking, crocheting or hand-stitching.

 I recently finished stitching this whimsey black cat.
I think this frame will work great.

It's a gift for my sons girlfriend.

 They have the sweetest little black cat so I thought 

she would enjoy having it.

Hope you all have a warm and cozy weekend!

Hooked Purse

January 6, 2014

I have decided that I would start the year off 

trying to be more organized and finish up projects 

that have been set aside for much to long.

This hooked piece will become a purse once 

I figure out how to assemble it!! 

The fabric on the left will be the lining,

 I purchased the straps with the pattern 

and will choose a heavy brownish wool 

for the bottom of the bag.

You can find this pattern at

 Wish me luck!!!!!

Enjoy the day!
