Well, since my last post I've finished almost 10 different projects, including another purse, for a friend's girlfriend's Christmas present. Of course, I have no pictures of the finished products, because I am lame :-(
I'm sorry that I haven't updated in months, it's just that life got in the way. However, I'll try to update more often from now on.

oh, my goodness
I have not updated in quite a while! I am so sorry. I have been having some health problems, which has limited what I've been doing. However, I did finish a few purses and I will post pictures soon.
Thanks for your patience!

I am a bad, bad blogger
*sigh* I have been so crazy-busy lately that I haven't had time to post anything new. I did finish my friend's purse, but forgot to take pictures of it :-(
I also finished knitting the exterior of another purse. Now I just have to felt it, line it, and it'll be ready to go! I will definitely take pictures of that one. I also have a purse that's almost done, so I will definitely post pictures of that one as well.
I think that's all for now -- just wanted to let y'all know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I promise :-)

so sorry!
Sorry I haven't updated in a few days! Things have been really crazy around here. Just today I finished a purse for my friend Sherri's birthday. I'll post pictures once I've given it to her :-)
Hope everyone is well!
Hope everyone is well!

More pictures!
In which there are more pictures of things Abbye has made

Here are some more pictures! The first is of the afghan I made for my Mom's bed. That's a double bed in the picture, and the afghan more than covers it. In the second picture is the little wallet that I made for myself. It is large enough to hold my major cards as well as some cash and still closes comfortably. I also made myself a change purse that is similar to the wallet, but I don't have any pictures of that right now.
I can make both afghans and wallets/change purses for sale. The afghans will take longer, of course, but both are totally customizable, or just tell me what you want and I will design something neat for you!
Thanks,
Abbye
Felting Day
Good morning!
Today I'm going to felt some more purses that I've knitted. Hopefully, they will felt well. I think I'm going to do them separately since one of the purses has white stripes and the other has red, and I don't want the red ending up on the white. Anyway, I'm really excited.
Once I do this (and they dry and get blocked), I'll be ready to start on their linings. I have some really cute cloth to line each of them. One of the purses (the one with white stripes) is pink, white, and black stripes of varying widths. The other one is red and black stripes of the same width throughout (the customer is a Georgia Bulldogs fan). I'm working on another one right now that is pure orange. For that one, I have some lovely white cloth with an awesome orange stripe pattern on it for the lining.
I also need to get started on the purse that I'm giving to my best friend for her birthday. I'm not sure yet if it'll be knitted or just cloth with a stiff interfacing. It's going to be a summer purse, so I haven't decided.
I think that's all for now. I'll try to post pictures of the purse shells before and after felting, so that y'all can see the process. It's pretty neat.
Have a great day,
--Abbye

Pictures, finally
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MPsLzibsBQE/RprMq5D2HtI/AAAAAAAAAAk/GZ3WslrTZKc/s320/purseinside.jpg)

Hey there,
Here are a couple of pictures of the purse that I made.
The exterior is 100% knitted and felted wool, and the interior is cloth. You can customize the color/s of the exterior as well as the color/pattern of the interior (the interior I will do the best I can based on cloth availability). The interior of this particular purse has 2 pockets, one on each side. One is cell phone-sized and the other is larger. You can specify the number and size of the pockets, or even if you want pockets at all. This purse does not have a strap but straps are definitely an option. Also, the purse can come with or without a button.
I am now taking orders, so let me know if you like what you see and I will work some ideas up for you!
Thanks,
Abbye
Apology
Hi there,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. There was a sudden death in my extended family of friends and I have been dealing with that, actually since the day of my last post.
I hope to have pictures soon. Thanks for your patience.

Hello, World!
Hi, I'm Abbye, and this is my public blog for the different things that I make for both myself and for sale. My little business that I have right now is called Personality Handbags, and I make purses and accessories for reasonable prices. I have an Etsy shop, but I don't have anything in it yet, but I'll link to it and you can look at it when I update it! It's georgiastitches.etsy.com, so please check me out!
I think that's all for now. Thanks!
