Stingray Purse or Pal

This cute crochet stingray is a perfect gift project to make for kids of any age!

From the blogger: "After making the Pocket Full of Sunshine and the Pocket Full of Rainbows purses, my daughter (who quickly took them over) requested a stingray purse. Immediately I thought, 'That's a fun idea!' As soon as I finished the purse base, she wanted to have it. She didn't even want to wait for the handle to be added. After our photo shoot with the purse, she requested I remove the handle. This made me think 'This could easily be a cute stuffed animal too!'

Make a great little clutch to hold all of your essentials when you get all glammed up. The bag is made in three parts the lacy flap, the textured body of the bag and the button straps.

This is a quick project that can be completed over the weekend in time for your next big event.

For many, summertime means the beginning of festival season.

If you're heading to any this summer, be sure you crochet the Summertime Festival Bag. It's the perfect crocheted bag because it's just the right size to carry your festival essentials including your cell phone, cash, photo ID, and lip gloss. Plus, the fringe adds a funky finishing touch.

It's finally summer (well, almost). I dream of days crocheting on the beach while my kids play (and leave me to my crafty ventures!) I also look forward to walking the shores and exploring, and that's how the Pocket Full of Sunshine came to be! One thing I hate about the beach is carrying around the big ol' beach bag. Sure, it's fine when we're there to lounge and swim, but what about just walking along the sand? All I need is a small pouch for some important things like my phone and keys.
