My May Flower Tote from here is now finished! And just in time as we flip the calendar from April to May.
.
Never mind, of course that last night snowflakes bigger than baseballs were falling from the sky.......April showers bring May...snowflakes??
.
.
I added a crocheted lavendar mum as a sweet embellishmet.
.
The pattern for the mum I got from this book: ---> and yes, this book is one of my favorites.
(Wildflower HOT PADS & TOWEL TOPPERS by Patricia Hall)
The color of this I LOVE THIS YARN is so completely yummy....
.
.
...and with the interior fabric & faux leather handles & lavender mum....well, it is just perfect for all the gorgeous blossoms in our yard. Like this crab-apple tree that just erupts in pinkish petals.

Oh. And that's Jake, our golden retriever sniffing the entire lawn just in case he maybe didn't sniff that section the last time he was outside. Right. Like that is going to happen.

I added foam-core to the inside bottom for added reinforcement and attached metal feet to give it a nice finished look.

That is by far the most professional looking, well made purse, I've seen handmade. Those feet blow my mind. Where did you find those? The workmanship is excusite and the colos/fabric choices fantastic! What a piece of art! Congratulations and happy Mother's Day to you too!
(p.s. I'm no longer going to crochet purses, only those shopping nets)

As always your work is beautiful. I love this bag and the colors are great. lovely vintage look!
This bag is simply perfect, very very pretty. I love the lining and the little flower, everything is so neat and you´ve done a brilliant job. The colours match beautifully, I would have never thought that lavender and this kind of blue go together so lovely.
Such a beautiful bag. I love it ! Rachel D.
Sad to hear of your condition, with the help of God you will see that everything is going to be alright, but regarding your stitching, they are very good and original, thanks for sharing.
