Oh Paintingnut
Those are really cute! You are definitely on a creative streak now.

The potholders you sent have not only inspired me to crochet more for myself, christmas gifts for family and the mall but now I've spun off into making purses with them as well. I found this new yarn called Soft and Fluffy, something like that... it looks and feels like lambs wool, a little difficult to work with as it's difficult to see the holes. Anyways, it was about $3.00 a skein, the skeins are a little smaller than normal size. I bought one in off white, crocheted it yesterday vertical pattern, slip stitched up two sides leaving a flap to turn down for the top, crocheted a strap and will embelish with these pink poodles I bought brand new still in their pkgs. this summer at a thrift store. Oh on the thrift store, they were around $7.00 for all those patches plus some other stuff. I have around 20 or so, 15 poodles and some other patches with sequins and pearl drops. It has turned out pretty good so far. Oh and I used a shiny gold coat button as the snap. I will try to take a picture tonight to show you how it turns out.
The total out of pocket on this new purse is less than $3.50. These will go to the mall for Christmas and will sell for $20.00, I hope.
I also have some white poodles so will make a black purse with this same yarn with a white poodle and see if I can find a black and white coat button.
Well off to do some work.
