Sugar Skull Shoulder Bag

I've always loved Halloween things that are both creepy and cute and now I've discovered that Day of the Dead has lots of charming things that fit that description too, both creepy and cute and they make fall feel like the most exciting and fun season of the year. Sugar skulls in particular are very popular and I love to crochet different kinds of them. I saw this cute pattern for a shoulder bag in the book "Beastly Crochet" by Brenda K. B. Anderson. Mine is a little different as I relied on my memory of the picture in the book more than the pattern itself.

Update! Here's another one, this time with a striped strap, different flowers and a little bigger.
Oh and a chihuahua who wonders if the flowers smell pretty.

New Bag! 

Thread Earrings

These were based on a pattern by Kathryn White in Interweave Crochet Summer 2014. They wear pretty glam.
 And here are a couple of my own designs based on motif patterns found in "Beyond the Square- Crochet Motifs" by Edie Eckman.
