A Pink Flowery Purse

My obsession with crochet and with Nicki Trench's book Cute & Easy Crochet continues, with yet another little project. This time, the Floral Purse...

I used Rico Creative Cotton in Fushia, purchased from here, with oddments of cotton DK in soft green and cream for the little flowers. The lining fabric is a pretty green floral print that I had already and a little daisy button was just right for the fastening. I loved making this little purse, it was a nice quick project which took only a couple of evenings to complete. The trickiest part was the the lining, which I admit, could be neater, but nonetheless, I am still happy with it. It is the perfect size for holding a little compact mirror and a lipstick or two...
