I did another purse without really wanting to do it. I see I did get more inventive at the bottom where there were colors I did not like. Still even my colors have a grayness that does not please me. Ling-yen was just here and she liked the purses so maybe I am in a super critical mood.

With the arrival of my Fire Mountain order I was able to finish the Prayer Bear. I had thought that sewing his hands and legs into place would be a problem but actually that job went quite well. I was even able to work on the cat part of the evening while a storm tried to blow down the chimney. Today the sun is back in full force.
