Here’s a scan/pic of the purse I want to make out of Christmas fabrics. The finished size of this purse is approx. 5.5″ x 7.25″ x 3.75″, so it’s a small purse. Now if I could find some Curious George fabrics locally, I been banned from Ebay so I can’t get those, I’d make it out of those for dgd.
My fabric stash, well 95% of it, is being stored at my parents’ home in Rubber Maid 22 gallon tubs. Don’t have the room to get it out and go threw it to be able to quilt, and we needed to use the hall closet as (of all things) a closet. So stash went into storage for now.
Anyway, back to the purse. I’d like to make it for my mother and use it as a sort of “gift wrapping” for her present at Christmas. Or make the version for dgd for same reason.
This year I am seriously considering the following in order to save a little money. Using the cheap acrylic yarn I have and hate to knit with to knit (yes I know sounds crazy) gift bags for pressies. This way I could use up the yucky yarns and NOT have to buy wrapping papers, tape, etc. But time will play a big part in this idea for sure! I still have commissioned sock and knitting jobs to finish before hollidays, finish working on pressies, start and finish other pressies, and the dull drum of daily life to get threw too so knitted pressie bags may or may not happen this year.
I appoligize for the colossil lack of regular posts. Having dh home 24/7 has played real havick on my blogging and schedule in general.
DH continues to heal physically and is doing well in that area. (No further details will be given here for the non-physical.) Erchin made 3 A’s, 2 B’s, and 2 C’s on his report card he brought home today. (I owe him $15 for the good job!)
I might possibly have found me a “free” little doggie! I’ll find out more details and will let y’all know. If I do get the doggie, I’ll be sure to post pic of the adopted fur baby……..wish me luck!
