Bags and Crocheted Baby Blankets with Hats

I bought a stash of baby yarn before I left the world of working at IBM. I love to crochet the baby blankets and hats pictured below while watching Laker games. As you can see, I've watched a few Laker games!!
I'm thinking of putting them up for sale on Etsy.com. The blankets are approximately 32" wide and 36" long. They are made with a 'V' stitch in a stripe pattern. The blankets are sooo soft, can be machine washed 'gentle', and put in the dryer at a low temperature.





Sandy and I bought patterns & fabric at the 2010 Long Beach Quilt Show to make the purses shown below. The pattern is "Carmel" designed by "A Quilter's Dream". It takes 6 fat quarters to make one.
Sandy finished her purse before me. Sandy is blessed with a talent for design. The bag displayed on the pattern was plain. Sandy added this big button on her bag and I loved it.......hence, big 'ol buttons on my bags!
