Mom & daughter festival purses

Or perhaps I should call them "Mum and Daughter festival bags" in British English? I subscribe the hard copy of Simply Crochet a UK publication and although there is a little delay in reaching me here in Texas I just adore it! My last crochet bag was getting a little tatty so a bright summer bag was required! I found a fringed bag pattern in the back issue #19 and found stash yarn to suit. Then I had to embellish it further. And of course my daughter wanted one so I sized down the pattern to make a diddy version for her. Bright colors make me smile :)

Simply Crochet had a pattern for this cute ghost. Couldn't resist it.

Have signed up for the Craft Yarn Council's crochet 2 certificate. Looks like I'll be learning some fun new techniques.

Still doing Nimblefingers' Facebook page and teaching their Friday afternoon workshop. Now I'm doing knitting as well as crochet.

Attended the Hearts and Hands event today. My friend bought my crochet cowl for her mother-in-law and I bought the knitted one which I'll give to my sister-in-law, both for Christmas presents.
