Autumn hooked purse

I stayed up until 1:30 last night getting this purse finished. I was so excited to see it put together!

I did the outside and the lining with denim. It's so nice to have a "craft store" in the basement. I knew I had some denim yardage down there somewhere!

And in the bottom I stitched some plastic canvas to the "outside" piece of denim, before I put the lining in. It really helps to give it some shape.

I did all this with the usual cussing and sweating. I love to sew. ~~NOT~~ Maybe if I used a pattern it would help. My sewing machine kept getting an error on it saying the thread was all tangled up inside the machine. Well I couldn't find any tangled thread!!! After I turned it on and off a few times it worked. Oh, and by the way the pattern is a Potted Pear pattern if I'm not mistaken.

Also I listed my mixed media witch on ebay today. Please go there to check her out!!

The calendar says it's fall. But it doesn't feel like it here in Missouri. It's 83 degrees today. I'm sooo ready for a cool down. I like to start baking when it cools down too. Anyone have any good fall recipes?

Have a great weekend.

I'd rather live here in our cozy little home-
