Minnesota Musings

This time of year we say, "Spring is coming, I can feel it!" Well I can honestly say I do not "feel" spring this week.
You ask why? Well the weather has turned a bit cold for us, we had a typical storm move through and afterwards came the cold winds and temperatures, like below zero temps and wind chills again. Not too much fun this late in the winter.
They say we are going to get warmer, like temps in the 50's in a couple days, maybe then I can "feel" spring is in the air.
This week, I started a college afghan for my nephew and Godson. He will be attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This warrents a special afghan pattern, so I am experimenting, with the shadowbox stitch. And red and white colors for Go Badgers!!!

New Spring Purse

New Spring Design

So do you remember the exciting new spring design I was working on?

TA DA....drum roll please.....A New Spring Purse
The purse is done and I absolutely love the finished product!!!! (I just may keep this for myself!!)

I designed the yellow colors together for hope (remember Michelle Obama's Inguaral dress) and yellow is the new color for spring.

This spring purse is 12 inches tall, 14 inches wide and 5 inches across on the bottom. It is full lined, has 5 pockets, and a magnetic bottom closure on the top.

The model is my daughter, I took the photo as she was heading out for Nordic skiing. (The only time I could squeeze the picture in.))))

Hope you like this spring purse as much as I do!
