I also altered the pattern again and opted for a fold over clasp instead of putting the clasp inside the purse. Mainly because of the awesome blingy button I found that matched the fabric. I had to add it to the purse somehow!
And a craft fail this week. :-(
I periodically use plaster of paris to make a cast of M's handprint. I've been doing it every few months since she was born. She hates holding her hand in the plaster for so long. I found this kit at Hobby Lobby that said it was quick dry so I bought it. It turned out that the "clay" was some unknown substance with the consistency of a marshmallow and it wouldn't hold shape at all. When I would try to push her hand into it, it would crack and crumble. So this is what I ended up with:
Meh. I think I'll just buy a real kit and redo it.

Very cute purse! I'm sorry for the sad hand impression.
I can't remember for the life of me the name of the company but we used to have a guest on the TV show that I worked for who created whole feet and hand impressions from a cool kit. The kit used a gel to make a mold and then you pour the plaster into the mold. Man, I wish my memory was better because I'd love to have a little chubby fist of Emily's before she gets too big.
The hand impression still make my face look like this D:
I know what you're talking about! I used to use those kits when I taught preschool. Only, you're going to hate me, I can't remember the name of them. D'oh!
I've searched the net over and cannot find the name of that company. Rats. All I can remember is a hot Mormon couple owned it and they lived in Utah.
