Some Purses I Have Made....

.... Like ten years ago!! I used to do the Farmer's Market. I tried to sell all my purses (before I knew about copyright/permission to sell) at the Farmer's Market.... (you can see I didn't do too well... I still have them all!) I don't think I have ever taken pictures of them/uploaded them to the computer. They are all from 'Trendsetting Totes' by American School of Needlework. (Except the little tan one w/ beads, I made that one up.) This lime green one is mine, I used it a couple times.... Made in cotton.
The lining.

A brown one in Red Heart WW, probably. (Sorry that one came out blurry.) I thought this was the same pattern as the lime green one, but it might not be.... If it is anything, it's from an FCEC magazine I have. The lining is brown in this one.


Orange one, in cotton. Orange lining.

Here is the little drawstring bag I made up. I put little beads in the middle of the flowers. I am almost positive I never wrote down how I did it, but I could probably re-create one and write it down....

Heres' the lining. This really shows how long ago I did this!! I used this same fabric to re-do a little kids' rocking chair for our 16 year old when he was a baby!! Man that makes me feel old. :(
I also did a lavender one, which I am sending to someone on PR. I will probably take a picture before I send it. It's packed away somewhere...

Thanks Lucy. I can't believe I've held on to them this long. I like making purses; but usually give them all away.

I like the orange one...oh, and I just read your comment about buying a second Crochet-a-Day Calendar (2007) for $4...I will purchase it from you for $5 if you still have it (?:) )and are interested in selling it (plus shipping). I just want to make the "city girl hat" so that's what attracted me to this calendar, but I'm sure there are more ideas where that came from. My email is dana@rbtd.com and I'm DanatheKnitter on Ravelry.

DanatheKnitter, I don't recall a comment about a 2007 calendar? I did buy one for my friend at that price once.(I already gave it to her, though so I don't have it anymore). :) Thanks
