Felting Amanda Squatty Sidekick

I'm felting my little purse again. I felted it back in March, but the hot water in my house isn't quite hot enough to felt properly. So, I used boiling water this time and it looks so much better.
I love the colour of this purse, but the picture in the pattern was done in a very pretty pink. Hmm, I could always do with another purse, right?!

I'll post another picture of the purse when it is dry and has a pretty button to finish it off. I'm thinking of getting some pretty cotton or silk to make a lining.

Buying yarn is addictive

I never realized before how addictive it can be purchasing yarn. Okay, I'm lying. I've always known, but I didn't face up to my addiction until now because I would stash my yarn all over the house and not in a one place. Now that I'm re-organizing the house I've been collected said stashes and consolidating them into one stash.
"Hi, I'm Michele and I'm addicted to purchasing yarn"
What is worse is the Internet for enabling me in my addiction. I saw the cutes knit turtle on someone else's blog yesterday (memory failure, the blog was a yarn blog and it is not remembered). So I went to find the pattern (on Knitty) and to purchase yarn to make a few for friends' children. I couldn't decide what colours to purchase so I bought one of most of the colours.
So when did I actually think I'd have time to actually make these cute little turtles with detachable shells. Maybe when I'm finished the 2 afghans, 3 tops, 2 sweaters, 3 hats, 2 pairs of socks, 3 shawls that I'm currently working on.
Oh, no, I think I'm addicted to starting knitting projects too. HELP
