Perfect Little Purse

I'm in the process of making a purse. I finished the purse part but as usual i did something a little different but on purpose this time ;). (I have the drawstring for the purse left to make: Icord). Unfortunately I didn't realize I hadn't enough to make the bag with one skein of cream cotton. I wanted it all one color. Didn't work out that way. The yarns I used didn't quite match each other.. so thinking of dying it a color when I'm done. It's cotton so shouldn't be a problem. After all is said and done should be cute. I have to get some beads from the store for the ties. (Pattern: The New Crochet book page 51 Design by Barbara Zaretsky) Modified by me.

My late Christmas present to myself :)

Yes I made it! A hat and scarf set I'm so pleased with the results. No didn't really follow any pattern but the hat was started as the pretty puff slouch hat I found on a blog. I'm just really bad at following directions. Unless it comes to food. So anyway here it is.. the scarf was finished a few days ago but didn't have time to come on and share. I am so please also with losing so much weight this is probably one of the only pictures I have of me that I feel I look thinner in. I hadn't actually noticed too much how much weight I had lost until I viewed this picture.

I can tell how uncomfortable i was with myself.
