Also, I’ll be directing customers who are interested in my Grammy’s Watermelon Tropical Flower Brooch in my etsy store to kindly purchase the ones at Crafted with Love.

The hat and flower was inspired by the purse – the brim of the hat is Tunisian! This one is made with a mohair blend yarn that I love. Too bad I can’t get anymore of it. It has a nice feel, nice thickness, and great color. I call it the Oh So Mauve Set.

The very nice customer had size (approximate size of purse and handle length) and color (to match the Red Accent Tulucia Machika Cloche she purchased) specifications, which I designed around. I had just purchased small d rings and clips when I went to Japan in May and I was so happy when it worked with the project so nicely. I crocheted the purse in Tunisian. I like the design so much that I created another similar one, which I will post up soon.
