Koala Bear Teething Ring – Jungle Animals Teething Rings Series

African Flower Crochet Clutch

I need a clutch. No, I need a crochet clutch. And I need one for the simple reason: I have nowhere to put all the little things that get lost in my purse. My husband is always joking about my purse (and all women's purses for that matter) being a black hole. He'll ask me for…
