I am happily married with three beautiful children. The life is good but ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to become a designer. About five years ago I started a stitchery design company Just A Stitch Away and I also sell little girls hair accesseries, aprons, and bags under another name Tea Rose Company. The business is so small that I call it a Micro business. I love the time I get to design and create; it is such a treat! Aside from my businesses, I love to cook, interior design, quilting, art, and any other craft related activity.

craft interests: crochet, embroidery, fashion, gifts, home decorating, jewelry making, paper crafts, quilting, sewing, Decorating

Re: Wool Felt Purse

I'm so sorry, I've missed all your posts. I've been busy with my blog at tearosehome.blogspot.com. I have a ton of ideas and projects that I post there.

thr3adh3ad- I used a sewing machine to make this bag. For the handle, I cut out stips of felt and folded the edges together and then folding in half. I then hand sewed them on the bag.

luvinthemommyhood + theemtpynest- Thanks, I had fun with this purse.
