The process of creating





STEP 1:



Get a nose! So, yes, Anastacia and I had a good chance to be silly, and blow off steam. We're using the clown noses made from scraps of our newest projects - purses!!




















STEP 2:



Anastacia takes a turn at the sewing machine. See two "first tries" at left -- a few more details to be completed and these will be ready to go!




















STEP 3: Develop different styles. This purse is great, due to the scandinavian design wool sweater Anastacia found. After a couple washes in hot water and a little time in the dryer, it came out very nicely!

We both want this one for ourselves!
