I got an email about my last post...
the person wanted to know what my new "side business" was.

Okay...I'll tell you. I make hand-crocheted purses and bags.

Seriously.

It all started when I decided that I wanted a cute little purse to match an outfit I had. I didn't want to buy another purse, so I got the idea to crochet one. This is the purse I made:

Last week, I carried this purse to work, cuz I had worn the outfit that it matches the night before and I was too lazy to change purses again. One of the women I work with flipped when she saw it and asked how much I charged to make them. I told her $15.00, thinking she would gasp and dismiss it.

Nope. She ordered one for herself, and two others as gifts.

Pretty cool huh? But wait..it gets better...

A couple of other co-workers saw the purse and they ordered one for each of them too.

I now have six purses to make for my "customers".  And I added a new page on my website:
http://www.theclassicquill.com/purse.htm. Warning: Netfirms isn't being very cooperative...some of the images show up, others don't, and the images are out of place. Hopefully, things will be fixed by tomorrow. Oh, and I'm also putting up an eBay store.

Not that I'm taking this seriously or anything...

On a side note...
If you hear blood-curdling screams that seem to be muffled...it's me screaming into a pillow. My mother is coming to visit this weekend. To be accurate, my sister, my father, Taylor AND my mother are coming over. I just can't wait til my mother walks in my front door and says something positive such as "I hope you aren't paying a whole lot for this place...but I guess it will do...of course, if you would clean a bit more often it might be habitable...just until you get on your feet."

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

That was a preemtive scream...now you'll know what to listen for.

Okay, my crochet hook is calling..I'd better get back to work.

Thanks for reading. You can now go back to living your lives.
