Wow. That's a lot of nouns for one little title, isn't it?
Anyway, yesterday I made a super fast, easy, and adorable (if I do say so myself - it's okay, it's not my pattern so I can rave about it all I want and not be immodest) ice cream cone necklace purse for a little friend who turned 4 today.
It has a teeny drawstring, so you can open up the top and store found pennies, or stones, or teeny pine cones... all those things that get put in pockets and forgotten until they threaten to break the washing machine. Took me all of about an hour, probably not even that long, and now I have to make two more, of course. Mine turned out about two inches wide, four inches tall. One of those "now, why didn't I think of that?" projects.
Incidentally, Erin Olivia Designs has lots of great patterns, some free, and others very reasonably priced. There's even one for a cupcake wristlet purse, but I swear I didn't see that before I made mine! Cross my heart.

Very cute!
Michelle, thank you so much for the lovely button that arrived yesterday!! My son loved it right away, so I'm probably going to use it on something for him!
