Spring is steadily approaching, or at least I hope it is. This winter has been brutally cold here in Pennsylvania, and I have not seen this much snow is a very long time. I am ready to welcome spring with open arms and I want to have a project finished and ready to go. This cheerful, retro-style needlepoint purse embodies spring with its bright colors. I find it to be the perfect spring craft project! I ran into it during my late-night insomniac adventures and now I'm delighted to share it with you. It really is reminiscent of the mod style of the 1960s that I love. Now if I could only figure out where those fabulous orange flats came from.... This retro purse was created by Danielle Thompson, the mastermind behind Kitschy Digitals and owner of the Thompson Family Blog.
