My Projects: Perky Snood Progress

You may remember I started crocheting a snood from a vintage pattern. Here is my progress so far. I hope the opening comes out large enough to fit my head. If not I will have to start over. We'll see!
The yarn is Red Heart Classic worsted medium weight wool in #3 Off White. I want the snood to be chunky and have a lot of texture.

This is the image that came with the pattern. What I'm aiming for!

My Vintage Vanity: Winter White Embroidered Purse

*Take a peek into my vintage collection*

I love this vintage purse! I was so lucky to receive it as a Christmas gift last year. The winter white color makes it perfect for this time of year. Protected with a plastic layer the cross stitch and twisted yarns are safe from rainy days and keep it clean. It's also large enough to fit all my daily needs.
Can you see the glitter?

Complete with a pearloid handle and hinge top!
