Another purse

This one is made from a felted sweater which I had bought from the thrift store. It was an Anne Klein 100% merino that someone had already shrunk - but when I felted it, it went from a ladies size down to a small child's size and barely large enough for a purse! Well I guess I like my purses to be bigger.

Anyway, the plain grey was nice but, well, plain, so I embellished it with crocheted burgundy fuzzy flowers and added some beads in the centre. Everything was pulled from my stash - except buying that sweater.

I am really liking it now. I think it will look great with my black winter coat... "oh honey...let's go out for dinner tonight... and the next night, and the next night."
