A Finished Object!

How amazing is that?  I truly love this purse.  I haven't given it the "use" test but it is everything I thought it'd be.  I took this picture on our back deck.  DH is so creative - when we were cleaning it off for the party, he had JR powerwash around this big metal star.  Hehe- this star is made from dirt and tree sap!

Not only did I finish this purse but I'm also on the last row of triangles on the hyphen-boy bag.  I buzzed along on that while having total control of the television.  I watched all the medical and crime shows that I wanted to yesterday!  DH was at the neighbor's house working on a patio cover, DS hadn't showed up yet, and DD stopped by for only a few minutes.  It doesn't fall that way for me very often and I thoroughly enjoyed my alone time.  After this row of triangles I will work on the bottom of the bag and then it is time to throw it in the hot water bath and shrink it up.  I think I'm going to work on a tank top and some cushions next.  I look forward to new projects.

I had to share this since it reminds me of the growing up days.  Whenever one of us kids would make a rhyme Mom would say, "You're a poet and don't know it but your feet show it, they're Longfellows."

Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close.
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night's repose.

--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
