Present for Mom
It's Mommies' Day on Sunday, and my mommy warned (as she does every year): "Don't buy anything for me!"
So I cheated a little (as I do every year, some years more blatantly than others); she needed a new purse, and I wasn't about to wave my hand and make one appear out of thin air.
The front pocket was the worst to make. But Mom needs to put her coins, right? I had out almost every single bag I owned, turning them inside out, trying to figure out how it was done. In the end, it was pretty okay, I think.
Other than that... Voila! (The colour looks a little bit off here; it's closer to purple than it is to blue.) Hand-made (a sewing machine would've been nice) with lotsa love (and back-ache), in just a couple of hours. It's a good thing I bought extra zippers; now I can make one for Grandma too! :)
