The making of a Clutch purse

Call it spontaneous, it was a quick decision when we, the girls at WSG meet for a private session of making a clutch purse with Barbara's (FB)  well not all was into making the clutch, only three.

We actually did planned for a meetup with a couple of crafting ideas about a month earlier, just that everything happened so quickly.  Despite that we had some initial setbacks but somehow all ended well. We manage to complete all the necessary and  most important details for the clutch before we called it a day.

I had a hard choice to decide on the fabric, I finally settled for fiery red poppies with a red lining, JT went for blue monochrome with berries and sunflowers while JW's choice was  bears and polka dots.
Almost five hours later, with preserving attention and some energetic effort and without lunch, yes, we skipped lunch to make up for some lost hours in the morning plus some 30 minutes later at home,  I am happy to have completed my clutch purse

All of us adjourned for a late, very late lunch at Boat Noodles where servings are so small that one will need  to order a couple of bowls to fulfilled our growling tummies. It's a Thai dish, a small but rich pho-like dish served with fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, crispy pork skin, and condiments made famous by the boat people vendors on the Chao Praya  river.

While digesting we had a lil'gossips in progress

which include sharing and getting some tips and hints on some other crafty stuff

that were on our mind and for our next meet

Have you seen the KING OF FRUITS ?

It's the DURIAN, yes ! that pungent, stinking, foul smelling fruit which is the best and yummlicious fruits of all to all who loves the fruit and with it being a seasonal fruit, it is very much sought after . This season, the produce was slightly low and with that the prices rocketed. I had a few one morning when a friend  came from his orchard and was generous enough to offer us the Musang King during our morning coffee session, the highest grade of the fruit from his orchard.  

 I have been diligently crocheting some doilies a couple of weeks earlier before the meet , contributing to JT's project when she mentioned that she was looking for some handmade crocheted vintage doilies and not those machine made. I am glad she love these few doilies I made for her.

Hope you enjoyed my new crafting adventure, until my next post, take care everyone, stay safe  especially if your area are typhoon active.
