It's a Cupcake Purse!

I love having a little girl.  She watches me crochet and asks me "Are you making something for me, Mommy?" When I do, she will wear it for hours.  She has two scarves and three hats.  All of them make the rounds each day and she loves them because they are clothing she can put on all by herself.

Recently, she could not find her little Dora purse that she loves so much.  She came to me with her sad little face and said, "Mommy, I don't have a purse! Where do I put my toys?"

So, I decided to see if I could find the ultimate girly purse.  In my search, I found a pattern for a cupcake purse. Yup!  A cupcake purse!  The pattern I found was available for free at Crochetville.  You may have to join to see it, but it is well worth the free membership!

You start with a base:

Then, you crochet the frosting and straps:

  Don't you just love it?  I can't wait to give it to Gracie!
