~ A Little Fishy ~

Yesterday I made this:

I've toyed with the idea for a while...

~ well, for a year almost to be precise.

For a long time I've worn my favorite hook around my neck,

as Peter drilled a hole in it for me to slide a length of hemp or ribbon through the wooden handle....

but

I wanted to make a wearable pocket to hold my hook instead ~

and then got to thinkin'...

how about a fish to hold my hook?

{ terribly corny pun intended of course }

and this is what came from that ~

a Big Mouth Fish!

and I enjoyed using a plethora of different textiles to hook him with

like heavy weight wool yarn, light weight yarn, beautiful Fair Trade silk sari ribbon, 

~ shiny, crinkly rayon ribbon and of course, some wool strips.

{{ in a rainbow of colors I might add }}

 :)

I chose an equally fun cotton fabric from my stash for the backing...

one I've used before as a lining for another hooked purse.

~ just plain fun!

it's comfy to wear too ~ 

and can hold a couple of my hooks in that big mouth of his!

I just listed the pattern for my fishy little friend in our Etsy shop ~

Have a creative Sunday my sweet friends ~
