I need your opinion...

... with the handle for this purse. The client ordered the purse for her mother and wants two short handles.

I've made an I-cord hand, but I'm having a hard time deciding just how I want to attach it. ( I should tell you the lining on the inside comes up to the top of the flowers) leaving the Mauve section open for attaching the handle.

Suggestions please.

To Be Felted Mittens

Bought this Mitten pattern in Chicago over a year ago. I now have some extra time on my hands.

Beth's Elephant

I've been teaching the students on my bus to use the French knitter. The first project is completed.

The elephant turned out so sweet. Many of the students on my school bus want to make projects with the french knitter.

They are going to have to wait until I return from a medical leave. One of their questions when I introducted them to the sub driver was, does he know about our knitting projects? I told them one of my first questions to Mr. Kurt was do you know how to knit and he said "no". And I added he doesn't even know how to french knit. They were disappointed.

Purple and Mauve purse. The actual purse is on the next post.

But, I have to take a break and work in my office today.

Purple & Mauve Purse in progress...

Working on a purse for Kathy in Dr. Lofstroms office. It's a gift for her mother.

Sandy at 212 mentioned that she'd like to see it. The color are actually bright and sparkly. Some where between the digital camera and the computer the color is washed out.

I took a flower from the lining and used it for the design on both front and back. I still have a ways to go.

Earth Challenge entries

The felted hats represent Planets, the manicans represent Space. "Earth, the New Prespective" is a book we used for inspiration, in creating our earth challenge piece.

At the beginning of each chapter is the planet earth, one for Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

The Earth challenge show goes up in Janurary 2010, at the Two Twelve Art Center.
