Checkered House Purse
A Japanese inspired house purse (approx. 15 x 15 cm) for keys, money or whatever you prefer. This project has been on the to-do-list since I got this book. Today was the day.
Sometimes I ask myself why a 48 years old women loves making pouches with hedgehogs, appliqued strawberries..... It's not because I expect people to buy them. I just have so much fun making them! It's not possible not to make them. That's reason enough for me.
The purse is for sale in my Etsy Shop.
Den er virkelig sød.
Mette har du nogen anbefalinger af japanske sybøger, min mand skal på stop i Japan fra mandag eftermiddag, og så vil det jo være rart med en lille liste. ;o))

Tja, Mette ... vi har vist før filosoferet over, hvad der får os til at sy, strikke og hækle diverse dimser uden at ane, hvad vi skal bruge dem til - jeg minder dig igen om, at det må være den skabende proces, der driver os - så skidt med, hvad andre tænker om det.
Skal i øvrigt huske at spørge, om du er opmærksom på at vi i byen har fået en lille butik med russiske specialiteter ? Jeg har ikke været der, men jeg er blevet fortalt, at den udover madvarer også handler med russiske ikoner og babuskaer ....
