Victorian Style Thimble Pouch

A few weeks ago I ran across a picture and crochet pattern for a Thimble pouch or Tiny Amulet bag. I just fell in love with these sweet little pouches and even though I haven't done much crocheting in nearly 20 years I didn't let that stop me. Of course the first couple didn't turn out the best, but I was on a roll and kept on going. I actually ended up by modifying the original pattern to suite myself and this is what I came up with.

Next I had to see what else I could do so I found a new pattern that included beads and so now I'm off and running working with beaded crochet. This one isn't finished yet ....

I have rediscovered the joy of crochet in the evening as I watch some TV ... it is very relaxing and very rewarding. Of course my favorite relaxing time is still reading instead of watching TV, but there are some good shows on that I enjoy.
