Small Crochet Purse

Here is what i did over the weekend. Friday Destiny asked me to make her a purse so that night I sat down and planned it out. She wanted some flowers on hers and I put them where she wanted them. She also had this little lizard that we opted to add to one of the flowers. So then Kiley wanted one too but without the flowers, she sat with me last night until it was completed. She refused to go to bed until then, Luckily by 10 pm I was finished with it. Anyway so this was my pattern so here it is free for you to use.

Humbug!

And here is my 3rd finish of this year. I was stuck on the couch all day yesterday since my leg swelled up where the plate was put in so I couldn't walk so i stitched something small so I could have some feeling of accomplishment for the day. :) The first pic is of it finished before I made it up and the second one is it all done up! I made up the design as I went so I will try to chart this out and post it. I guess you could say its my first blackwork as there are no x stitches anywhere.
