Here's 'What I did over spring break...'
I had some bamboo handles that I keep asking you all patterns to use them with and have not been able to find one I like. SO I got them out and some Patons Fresco(LOVE:manyheart this stuff!) that I got from Smiley's last year(they don't have it anymore so don't look:cry ) and just started to wing it. I made 3 pieces(front, back and the long narrow strip for the sides and bottom. I love it!!! But the narrow strip didn't get centered very well and comes up on one side more than the other, so I made a huge flower so you can't see it:hook ! I've gotten lots of complements and hints that certain people want them. :elle
What do you think!!!!:clap

I see Joanns has it in 3 colors, but not this one it's Lagoon.

I really like it. I am not a purse kind gal, I buy one that lasts me until it falls apart so bad loose change falls over the place :(
Soooooo for me to like it is actually quite a compliment believe it or not :clap

Very cute, I dug out my bamboo handles while I was visiting home and brought them back with me. I'm going to tackle a puse with the tweed my yarn swap buddy gave me. I love the purse pin as well! :clap
