I finally finished the felt clutch purse I was working on and I think it came out pretty cute. I had trouble deciding what kind of little signature decoration I was going to put on it. I tried a red ribbon; that was a no-go. Then I tried a big felted red star, close but no cigar. Then I was looking through some images I have on my computer for inspiration and I came across a cute abstract flower pincushion from the Wee Wonderfuls website: I really liked the shape so I made a flat version out of felt and a vintage button, and added some grey leaves too. I really like the way it looks, I hope someone else out there does too. I'm planning to make a zebra patterned one with a red lining and I think I'll use the red star on the front. Etsy sales have been going slow, but I haven't been listing things every day. Just too much to do with sis coming tomorrow, I've been cleaning (and organizing) the house like mad and I'm tired. I've got a pile of stuff to do, but I'm going to be out of town and far away from my precious craft supplies. Oh well, maybe I need a vacation anyhow.
