With only 15 days until Christmas, things are really getting busy now.

I’m beginning to think Santa has the right idea though . . . I need an elf! 😉

You know – just to help with a few things on my list. Maybe he could do the laundry and the grocery shopping, so that I could concentrate on all of the fun holiday stuff. Yes! That would be perfect.

In the midst of the bustle and merriment of the Christmas preparations here, I still like to have a moment to make something – just for the fun of it. It keeps me calm! LOL

Consequently, I’m always on the lookout for a quick and easy project, and when I saw Donna’s version of a sweet but tiny purse, I wanted to make one, too! She very kindly included a link to the directions!

Here’s mine. I put the business card with it to give you an idea of the size.

Wouldn’t it be just the thing to give with a gift card tucked inside?

I used some leftover wool yarn scraps and then crocheted the button as per the directions. I added a Swarovski crystal for a little pizzazz. (You can click on the photo to enlarge it.)

Although I didn’t have a real button on hand that would coordinate with this purse, I do think a vintage or new button would be lovely on the next one I make. Some glitzy yarn and a jeweled button would be gorgeous for an evening bag – when all you might want to carry is a lipstick and maybe a credit/debit card.

Ok, back to decking the halls for me.

‘Til next time,
