Hodgepodge Purse

Why? Because I started putting things all over it and I just couldn't stop!  There's a little bit of everything, but the main part is a sampler by Dany called Marquoir Dany.  I stitched it with my favorite DMC red--666.  I love that color but I always feel vaguely guilty when I use it, you know, it's the number of the beast!  I made one change to Dany's design by adding a cat just under the alphabet.

Here's the back side with a large pocket featuring an embroidery that I did.  It was really fun putting this one together!  On another subject, I would like to thank every single person who left comments with well wishes for our son-in-law Joe after his accident.  Your kind thoughts and prayers mean more than I could possibly say.  He's doing a bit better now, he's been moved into a nursing home until he heals enough for physical therapy. The extreme pain he had been in seems to be less intense now.  Our daughter Jessie is of course under a lot of stress but she's coping well because she is a very strong person.  Thanks again, we appreciate your thoughtfulness so much!  Now, a couple of silly kitty pictures:

Cricket who forgot to put his tongue back in his mouth before he posed.

Harley--Ok, I'm ready for my close-up now!

Thank you, friends, I'm so glad you dropped in for a visit!
