THEN + NOW

THEN + NOW

Over a weekend in December I was cleaning out my old bedroom & I found purses I had crocheted in high school to sell. 

The buyers didn't claim their orders (over 5 years ago...) so now they will be up for grabs in the shop soon! 

I have a handful to sort through so it may take a few days for me to get them all listed.  Let me know what you think - should I make more of them?

KNITTEDHOME BEFORE IT WAS KNITTEDHOME:

 Knittedhome Creations high school crochet purses 4 examples

Knittedhome Creations high school crochet purses hand sewn label

The "label" I made, Name sewn on by machine; actual label sewn on by hand.

Knittedhome Creations high school crochet purses back pocket

Some have back pockets (which were used for planners in high school).


KNITTEDHOME TODAY:

This is a towel I made for my cousin's 8th birthday last month. Here it is hanging in her bathroom (with a pink, green & yellow theme).

I love strolling down memory lane and compare where I started with where I am now.  I know I still have a long way to go, but celebrating firsts is something I really treasure because it keeps you humble and it keeps you motivated to improve.

What do you think? Do you like the purses or the dishcloths better?
