I couldn't resist showing off my latest projects. The bag is a Booga Bag, and I think it's adorable. This bag is still a little smaller than what I need (it holds everything except my knitting), but I like it. It's a simple design, but the colors in the Noro Kureyon yarn are incredible. I have a feeling that it's going to become one of my favorite bags.
I had an extra skein of the Noro, so I made myself a felted Purse organizer. It's entirely my pattern, and I'm really proud of myself. I think it would be better if it were a little larger, but I used every bit of the skein in making this one. Next time I'll buy two skeins and double the number of rows.
5/28/08 - I've edited this post to eliminate the word "Pal" from my description of the purse organizer I knit. I had a very sweet and generous comment (which you can read below) explaining that I had accidentally used a copyrighted term. What can I say, other than I'm sorry -- it was just that it sounded like a really great name. But as it turns out, it's already being used for a really great product. Be sure to go over to Willa's site and take a look at them. (Best of all, she's local to me.) And Willa, thank you for being so nice about this.

Hi Sandy,
Just wanted to compliment you on your lovely projects - they showed up on a google search I have for the word "Purse Pal" . This actually the registered trademark for my company and we make a purse accessory that is commonly called a purse hanger or purse hook. However, I did need to notify you in case you were thinking of marketing your creations - that trademark is taken! :) and cannot be used for any other purse accessory item. Thanks for understanding why we protect our registered intellectual property!
Actually, there is a brand name for the item you made - it is actually called a "PurseKet" and they make purse organizers like yours.
Now, just so you know I'm no evil corporate empire - just protecting my trademark and brand ;) I'd love to send you a real "PursePal" as a gift from me.
Go to www.purse-pal.com - click on the shop page and let me know which of the Classic Designs is your choice. I will send you one in our Day Bag size and I am very sure you will love using it to keep your pretty bag off the floor.
Then send an email to me at wporter@purse-pal.com with your design choice and mailing address. I will send it on it's way.
I admire the work you do both in crafts, as well as your regular job, and am excited for the chance to 'make yur day' with a freebie!
