I think its cute I love pink
ReplyDeleteDebi - This purse is beautiful. I really like the bow!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented!
Mary Lou
NO WAY! Not too much at all. I don't think I'd like it near as much without it! It's beautiful! Did you line the inside? Nosey aren't I! lol
ReplyDeleteIs this your pattern? Love it!
xxx
Thank you ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteNicole - no, I didn't line it - I always have trouble doing that. The crocheting is solid so there's no problem of anything falling out. The pattern is a very basic one - but I can write it up for you if you'd like. :)
Thank you Ms Debi, I would love to try to this bag..two reasons..I've never made one that you had to put handles on..AND I've NEVER lined one myself :) So I figured this one was smaller then the normal ones I do, might make it easier for me. IF you have time, no rush ( you know I have tons on the go)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, if you have trouble with lining that doesn't leave much hope for me :)
I love the bow, it adds the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty. About the bow, is the person who will use it into a more tailored look or girlie-look?
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect. Really that ribbon and bow really set it off. Love it. And those handles? I think they are perfect-a-mundo for the yarn and purse. Great job! (Now -- mail it to ME!!!!!!)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I don't see any mess on the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteSharon Marie - the purse is for me - I'm girly, but not too girly. I think I'll just have to carry it around a couple of times to see how I like it. :)
Bev - you're so funny. :)
Cute purse Debi, very springy; those are really cool handles too. I bought some stuff to make a purse, but I need to wrap up one of my WIPs before I start anything else. Thank you for sharing your pattern. :-)
ReplyDeleteDebi, it is so pretty...love the colors! and I think the bow is a great embellishment. :)
ReplyDeleteHave I told you how great you are??? Well, you rock (as Hoss would say! lol)
ReplyDeleteSince you took all the time to write this out I'm going to have to break a rule of mine and start yet another project before any of the others are done...hahaha..yeah right..rules..good joke! Thank you so much, you are truly wonderful and full of such amazing talent :)
So pretty!! You're such an awesome crocheter! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for posting the pattern. I am going to make one for myself. I love the bow..
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the nice compliments. :)
ReplyDeleteThe bow is the perfect addition to the bag. For me, it just makes the bag POP! I also love the handles!
ReplyDeleteOh, no, the bow is not too much, it's just perfect! My eyes got drawn to the bow right away and I thought how great it looked. I love your pink purse! It looks feminine, yet sturdy...very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Doris. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely bag and the colour is just gorgeous... Thanks for sharing your pattern (as you always do :))
ReplyDeleteHave a great week end :))
Your purse is perfect! If my oldest daughter saw it she would snatch it away from you, lol, she loves pink. Thank you for visiting my blog and becoming a follower. I see you like a lot of the same things I do and you now have another follower too. Thank you for sharing your lovely purse:)
ReplyDeleteThat color is gorgeous for spring!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteHey there Debi..sorry to bother you. Quick question..how deep is your purse..from top to bottom? The 12" you referred to was side to side..right?? Sorry to be so dense.Thanks for everything! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole - no problem at all - the purse is about 9" top to bottom. Side to side (flattened out) is about 12". Don't be hesitant to ask questions - I'm always glad to help. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Debi..I just need to get a pair of handles and I'll be able to show you!!! I just wanted to make sure we were about the same size..mine wasn't looking exactly like yours..but measurements are same....you'll see soon..thanks again! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks pattas, Susanne and Caroline. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it Nicole. :)
