Crochet Frame Coin Purse

I've had a few coin purse frames for a while and just hadn't got round to using them.  So in between learning to use my new spinning wheel (still a work in progress!) and finishing off my shawl for my mum I decided to get them out and make a little purse or two.

These little frames are abut 3.5" wide and have pretty little olive shaped heads.

I Sirdar Baby Bamboo DK yarn in my two favorite colours, purple and green, alternating in single row stripes.

I think its quite a cute little coin purse and not bad for a first attempt with this frame.

I'll blog again soon with my next attempt with this frame size .... its still a work in progress.

Finished my "Alice" gloves

So I have finished the gloves now, I am pretty pleased with them overall.  They are available to buy from Walnut Baby on Etsy

OK, they look a bit bland when they are just lying flat - but I think they look very pretty on.

I think adding the shiny buttons adds another element to the gloves, makes them a little more special.

I think these particular buttons are a great find.  They are available from Totally Buttons
