Gingerbread House Purse
"This adorable crochet gingerbread house purse is the sweetest addition to your collection of winter accessories - perfect for running holiday errands. The Tunisian crochet brick stitch creates the perfect walls for your crochet gingerbread house purse using two different shades of brown yarn. We will also be using the crocodile stitch to create the frosting shingles for the roof. Just like the gingerbread house-building kits you can buy at the store (minus the calories) the most fun part of this project is the decorating! Unlike those kits, you won't have to worry about this project going stale. "
