Flap of the Month Club 2008

Whew...where has this year gone to???

Here is the BAG for the Flap of the Month Purse for 2008!! Yeah! I wanted a purse that was different from last year's but that could use the flaps from last year! Let me know what you think!

This shows the "Neutral Flap" that is sometimes used to highlight different months (especially ones we do flowers for!

Hope you enjoy it!

Ahhh.... the Holidays!

It's that time of the year and we all have WAY too many UFO! Getting those projects done for others leaves us precious little time to do something nice for ourselves! So, Decembers flap project is festive and quick!

It uses the Neutral Flap (instructions in February's flap) and is a wonderful Christmas tree that you can decorate (or not) to you heart's content.

We will be doing another Flap of the Month Club for 2008! It will feature a different bag (all new!) but the flaps will fit the 2007 bag as well! SO by the end of 2008 you will have 48 different looks to choose from! Yeah!

Have a blessed Holiday and stay safe!

November 2007-Last touch of Fall

Here it is November and soon the Holidays will be on us with full force! Here is a wonderful flap that incorporates two stiches that I have been wanting to try for a while. One is a leaf edging which I found very logical after the first two repeats and so was able to slip into a semi-automatic knitting trance! I will do three leaves across the botom next time! The center panel is a simple basket weave stitch. I picked up those stitches inside the bottom leaf section and then knitted up to the top and finished the connecting part of the flap...great fun and a super flap.

October's Flap (2007)

Ahhhh, now we are having autumn weather! The leaves are changing colors and the ones near my house are lovely reds and oranges! The other new change is that the nurseries are stocking chrysanthemums! The Flower for October! So this month's flap includes both autumn leaves AND a crysanthemum! Enjoy!

September's Flap (2007)

Autumn--not yet feeling it here in Northern California but some autumn colors should help! I also needed a place to put my cell phone so that brought me to the idea of an extra pocket!

Have fun with it!

WOW! Where did this summer go????

I got caught up in doing a great Bag exchange with a super "New" friend, Cathy, in Vancouver! My problem was I kept changing what I wanted to do for her!!!!
August is the last vestige of Summer so WATERMELON, of course!
Hence, the August flap WASN'T done in July as planned! Here it is, it did go out while there was time to finish it in August!
September is almost done so look for it in you emails!!!
I have plans for the rest of the year and a great set of ideas for next year as well! (Though your thoughts and ideas can always be part of flaps too!)

I will be doing a new bag for next year but rest assured this year's flaps will work on both! Imagine 48 different looks! I haven't settled on a shape or style for next year so if anyone has a strong preference let me know!

I can design anything based on even a photo idea! here's to the rest of the year!

July...Fourth of July Celebration

Here is my intrepretation of a Fourth of July fireworks display AND the flag together! This is an easy flap..to give you time to enjoy your summertime activities! The pattern will be posted to subscribers by 6-15-07. Hope you are all enjoying the purse and flaps...send me photos and I will post them to this website!
