I've been making lots of purses lately. I've had this thing with purses just about my whole life. I almost always stick with one purse until it wears out. I'm not one of those who has to change bags to match the outfit. But I always buy them when I'm traveling, and I've had a couple of ventures into manufacturing involving purses. I'll tell you that story another time. Anyway, this is what I did last night. I bought this mola in Ohio a couple of years ago. I thought I'd make something out of it that I would use, so the mola is not just sitting on a shelf. I made this purse up as I went along. I had a very small piece of the Guatemalan handwoven. In fact, I used almost every scrap. I had to piece the bottom of the bag together, and it has a seam in an odd place. No one will notice though. Anyway, this is probably about the 13th or 14th purse I've made in the last month. What will I do with all of these?? Well, carry things to meetings, put my knitting projects in them, use them for shopping... Can you ever have too many bags? (Probably yes.)
