felted purse done!!

hello -


i finally finished crocheting my purse this past saturday and i went to dani's on monday to felt it....i have never felted any project, so dani was my teacher for the day!! a big thank you to dani for taking pics of the felting process. (my mom stole my camera for her puerto rico trip, thanks mom!!)


it always seems when i go over to dani's, there is always something going on. i love it!! dani had a PTA thing to do, so we took a car trip to a friends house to pick up some candy bars. dani had to make a wrap for the bars with school stuff on it. we cut, wrapped, and taped the bars together!! then after that we went to take the bars back to her friends house!


in the meantime, *during all the cuting and wrapping* dinner was made. poor ava *one of dani's dogs* got sick and poor puppy threw up her dinner....and besides all that we picked up jesse from school and then from soccer. ate dinner. but we felted and put together our bags.....wow what a day!!


dani found out, after the felting washes, that one of the yarns she used was not wool and that part of the bag didn't felt. i'm sorry that happened to you dani!! but i think it still looks good!


so on with the pics....i'll show you the before and after pics....

my newest project

so last week tracie, dani and i went to fiber arts. we absolutely loved it! it has a whole bunch of different rooms, with different kinds of yarn....and lots of places to sit and do your business whether it be crochet or that other stuff with pointy sticks...while there we all decided to make a pair of socks together as a crochet-a-long. thanks tracie for the idea!! :o) here's a pic of my sock so far and the yarn i'm using.

i also bought some wool, *not pictured yet* so i can learn to felt. i'm gonna make a purse. dani has already made the purse, but just to help me out, she's gonna make another one :o) thanks dani!

ok that's it for now...maybe i won't take another month to post again...we'll see... :o)
