    Silk tie bucket purse

    I checked out this book from the library last week and knew I had to make a tie bag.

    I had these ties stashed away knowing someday I’d use them.

    It took me a couple of hours to put together. I broke a needle on my machine as well in the process. First time I’ve ever done that!

    I learned that I had to manually “walk” the stitching forward by turning it by hand through the thick areas. Such technically accurate terms huh?! I am a trial and error girl. I don’t follow directions well. This may be an issue in my quest to learn to knit…

    No new art…just snow

    There has been no time for art…

    I can even begin to tell you how much snow we have moved over the past few days.

    I can hardly throw the snow over the top anymore. The garbage can may help for reference.
