Accessories Hop

Hi! I'm glad to get a chance to join in with Toy's Accessory Hop. If you've come over from her blog, thank you for taking the time to do so.

The accessories that I'm showcasing are items that I've found on the web that have caught my fancy, that I've thought would be practical from my life as a SAHM but still stylish. A couple are still in the flat fabric stage or still wound into a cake of yarn.

First up is this fabulous pair of shoes:

I wore these this morning with a dark denim skirt, and a black long-sleeved t-shirt.



For a purse this season, I'm carrying this around:

Most of the clothing items that I have planned to sew for fall and winter are dark browns. And yeah, I'm a matchy-matchy kind girl.

Up next, is an infinity scarf that I have planned to knit - umm, sometime soon. I'm sure that as sewists we all know the "I'm planning on making this" saying. I may or may not get around to actually knitting it.

Made with this yarn by WollesYarnCreations

But, if I don't get around to knitting this scarf this season - I can wear this scarf/shawl:

I really love the fringe on this!
Or this infinity scarf:

How about this? To keep my ears warm, since I won't wear a hat? Only problem is that I can't crochet - yet!!!

Finally, what about a casual, throw-over my shoulders cape?

I hope that you like what I've shown - can't wait to see everyone else's picks!

Toy - I don't know what the problem is - the handbag is showing up for me.

Oh man! I'm not even going to look for those shoes at Zappos because I will definitely buy them! They ROCK!

(I can see the purse too.)

Great picks! I especially love the shoes and bag. I normally go for browns in the autumn too.

Nicely done, Amy :). The infinity scarf is just beautiful. I can't knit for anything but love to crochet.
