Finished Object Friday

I know you have all been waiting anxiously for a glimpse of the finished purse from the bubbling pot... :)

So here it is!

Sorry about the not so great picture. I want to have one taken outside, but it's a little dark for natural lighting! Look for improvements later.

Well, actually it is not quite finished, but it is at a level of completion! :) Please mentally apply a (cute!) button to the flap. Then email me what you see, because I need to go button shopping tomorrow and I need all the help I can get! :) I also need to do some readjustments on the lining.

Here is a picture of the inside.

Just for reference, here is what it looked like before it was felted.

Can you see how much looser the stitches are?
The fabric is much stronger now!

Oh, and I haven't forgotten the lining tutorial, it's coming soon. You really don't want me to do it tonight. Between the time change and election night, my internal clock is out of whack, and thus my brain isn't quite up to par! :) (At least those sound like good reasons... if this is the normal me, I'm in trouble!) I really am identifying with this kitty.

So what projects have you been working on recently? Please share! :)
However, please follow the guidelines:
How to:
1. Write a post about your finished object on your own blog. (Include pictures, please!) :)
