This project has been SO much fun to work on and it’s just about to the point where the felting process can take place this coming weekend. It is named after one of my favorite shrubs that grow prolifically here in Nebraska and adorn many homes, acreages and farms.
Euonymus Alatus (Burning Bush) Sacculus (Handbag)
Even our own University of Nebraska Extension: Backyard Farmer has something to say about this beautiful bush – yes, it’s just THAT beautiful. Maybe you have one in your own landscaping you enjoy. We don’t have any of these at our duplex, but we sure enjoy looking at the homes around us that do!
Burning Bush Shrub
And hence, the inspiration for the fifth handbag in the Prairie Cable Handbag Series:
Burning Bush Cable Handbag - Pre-felting status
The bag is being done in Nebraska’s own Brown Sheep Company’s Lanaloft 100% wool bulky yarn on size 11US needles throughout. There will be some fun surprises that will help make this design even more fun than it already is. So please keep watching and hopefully by this Sunday there will be a newly completed TygerLily bag in the shop.
Thank you all checking in and just look around you! What is inspiring you today? Write it down, get it planned, and get it going!
