Look What I've Been Busy Doing

I've been very busy been making some extra money but, also got a chance to take some pics of somethings I've made. This coin purse was done for my mom.

Done in single stitches with a G hook. Also chain stitches for the ruffle edges to give it a little design to it.

Also there are 2 black buttons for design and also to hide the back of the magnet snaps that is on the coin purse to help keep it closed.

My first time doing a coin purse and I think it came out ok. My mom wanted it in black but, I wanted to give it color but, shoot it's her's so wanted to do it like she wanted it now I want to make me one in some COLOR lol. But here it goes.

This purse have 2 layers. The dark purple below was done with a J hook in single stitches worked in a round. The second layer on top was done in double crochet backstitches with a H hook. Very kiddie like but, now I want to make me one but, bigger.




Now here goes my daughter's bookbag

My daughter liked my carry along bags but, she wanted me to do a bookbag for her that can fit her coloring books and folders so I came out with this here.

I mainly went by the width and height of a large school folder. My daughter picked the colors. And we both got to work together I had her practicing some single stitches showing her how to work the yarn. She's only 5 years old but, I can say proud to say she can do single stitches.

I added a buckle which that was what she wanted. Did some little ruffles around the bookbag straps and around the flap. Put a little hook holder at the top. Was going to put fabric in it but, she said she didn't want it. But, going to do her another bookbag with fabric in it. I think it would hold up it's weight more with books and folders if it had fabric in it.


There you have it a little of my busy work :)
