Hello friends!
I am going to take this opportunity to show off all the things (well, MANY of the things) I've made. I am new to this blogging thing, but I guess I'll improve with time.
Ok, picture time.
First up. Pull-tab purses!
I don't have any patterns, I make each one up as I go. What do you think?

Small case $20

Faux-madillo! The closure flap is the tire track!
Custom Animal bags  $250

Side View of Faux-madillo $250

Medium handbag $150

Small handbag $85

Medium handbag $150

I make each bag custom to your choices, color, style, size, even shape! I crochet the pull-tabs together using nylon cord (new). Each bag is fully lined with recycled cotton material, usually scraps left from another project, nothing gross! I use something different for the closure "latch" on every purse. Sometimes I use a belt buckle, maybe a lobster claw with a BIG can tab for the ring, whatever I can think of that looks cool! What a GREAT way to recycle!!! Talk about complements!!! When folks realise what they're looking at, they go wild! Pull-tabs are AWESOME!

They are going to make great chain-mail when the zombies come!!!
Next, my flowers!

I make my flowers out of Aluminum flashing! I wire them to rocks or screw them to wood, board or limb chunk. I hand paint them. They are so cool! Some people put them in their gardens, I keep mine in my house! I can't kill these plants! I sell my "Plants" for $35 a piece.
