new purse and coin purse

I made myself a new purse and coin purse this week... (Actually, more like over the last two weeks.) I had no idea how easy it was to put those clasp frames on! I used an antique brass frame for my purses, and the one below, uses a nickel frame -- it's in my Etsy shop... :o) The pattern is from http://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioCherie 

Thanks for all the good wishes for Jim. I'm happy to say it's not too serious, and can be handled with medication, rather than surgery. Your prayers were appreciated and heard!
