New Season, New Purse

 So I cleaned out my old purse and switched to a new one I had stashed in my purse storage area..LOL! And it's funny, I noticed that I have a couple of twenty dollar bills just hanging around in the bottom of my purse...and those $20s only appear after my Mom has been sitting with my purse for a little bit...like when we travel to an appointment with Dad........hmmmm...Thanks Mom!

 DD sent me these pictures of her dogs playing at Kent Park . That Doodle sure does love the water, Jazz isn't quite so keen on it. It's probably a good thing they kept her on her leash....

 DD says Doodle would have liked to go chase some ducks floating around out there!

So I guess it's official-spring is here when the Doodle goes swimming, and when the purse changes!

I really WANTED to love one.....

I know!! I cna't believe it either. Not one purse was calling my name.

I mean really!!! I just thought I'd get me a little sumthin for Christmas......

but alas, no purse came home with me.

Cute Cowboy Purse

The Winter 2008 issue of Quilts & more magazine had this pattern for a cute little purse. I had to try it out. It is a sweet little bag! and easy to make too. I think the next one I do I'll use peltex instead of the stiff interfacing. Here's a link to the magazine.

I love this cowboy fabric. It was a scrap I had left from making a scrub top for DD. It'd be cute in that sweet pink cowgirl fabric I got from Peg's shoppe in North Liberty too-I may have to see if she has any more of that next time I'm in there.
