Inspiration sometimes we need it ever now and then once in awhile. For all the crafters when you see a picture of someone elses lovely work don't it inspire you to give your craft a shoot or to either try that hobby. Well for me it does. I will come across plenty of picture either online or in books that just makes me so inspire when it comes to sewing and crocheting. I have a couple of books where I will keep pictures of things that either I like or want to try one day in my future or it just inspire me at that point of time. I had a bulletin board which got so full that I gave up the bulletin board and went to journls or album folders now I decided to go back to a board but, a different board to post pictures on. You never know your work just may inspire me. I am really not into patterns but, I do give then a shot ever once in awhile. But, clothes patterns hurt my head lol if it isn't a simply pattern like a shrug, shroat, or shrap then I will come up with my own pattern. If ...

I said, I was going to take a crochet brake this Thanksgiving well all said, and done but, couldn't take to long of a brake I get bored easy and find myself crocheting to keep myself from being bored. Here is my sling bag, Mainly going to use it for my yarn. I thought this would be nice for me to take to my Perk N Stitch meet ups on Monday to carry my yarn and wip projects. It's big enough and needed something other then my purses that wasn't as big enough. I got the pattern to this bag from Ravelry. Sorry don't remember the link.

Ok this weekend been crochet crazy for me lol. I got one of the purses done that I said, I was going to do that turquoise purse but, mines isn't turquoise at all mines burgurndy and I just say it's a Half Circle purse. The pattern I was following was from Almondeyes121 from Crafters . The pattern was ok I was able to follow it but, I changed up a lot of rows on the pattern making a little altering of my own with the pattern. I did a lot of chain 3 before starting a new round her pattern didn't ask for it and it didn't look right without that chain 3 or that chain 1. So I made a little changes also a couple of rows I changed up as I went also. Taking note so that I was sure to do the same on the second part of the purse. So here is how it went with my Half Circle purse.:) Both pieces done. The purse forms the front, back, both sides and bottom. Ok now all done I put both pieces together by crocheting them together. But, it still looked nake. So I put in some black fabric...
