Redesign: Black Cloche to Licorice Allsorts Floppy Hat

Remember this little black and pink cloche I made earliter this year?

Well...I saw these incredibly yummy looking licorice allsorts, which were brought out for the Christmas season...and I felt compelled to create this Licorice Allsorts Floppy Hat, which has a Hippie-cum-Aussie Digger Slouch Hat vibe to it...and here's an example of the Aussie Digger Slouch Hat, which is still part of the Australian Army's Uniform and goes way back to the ANZAC uniform of World War I...

I have this cute little bee pin, which I thought would be gorgeous in the middle of the flower...

yup, the little bee completes the look...

the little licorice hat changes yet again, this time in 2016. I've also added lilac...

Yellow Cloche Hat With Fall Colors

The sunny Spring cloche gets a new lease on life for the Fall with this brooch in autumnal colors. I've also added several rows to the brim of the hat to give added shade outdoors...

Crocheted Cross-Over Shoulder Bag

Now that the weather has cooled down a bit and it's starting to feel like Fall, I'm thinking of little projects to do. So...I had a bit of yellow wool left over from the last project, so I got busy and made this cross-body purs. It took a full day of crocheting...
This one could be worn as a shoulder-bag but it is best worn crossed over the body from one shoulder to the other hip...
