After three attempts, I finally got a bag/purse that I'm happy with the results! Remember the market tote? That was just okay, but I made a major mistake that I couldn't fix because I didn't realize it until after it was felted and the seams gave me grief.
Then, there was the purse I attempted that I won't even show anyone. Again, the seams were hideous. But the yarn didn't felt like I had hoped.

FINALLY! I did yet another purse and got advice on how to do the seams. Success! It's a bit on the small size, but I still love it!
These are the before photos above. Just about 12 inches wide! Now, let's see it after it was felted:
Now, it's about 8 inches wide! Here's where I need some advice. I received these beautiful felted flowers from Valerie at http://www.valeriesgallery.etsy.com/ I'd like to add these to the purse but am not sure where or how many to add. Any suggestions?
There's four flowers to pick from, two purples, a yellow and deep yellow. Give me some thoughts!
And, this was strange, when I went to get the flowers that I keep in the bowl that Valerie sent me, I realized the bowl and purse are just about identical in color! Wonder if we used the same yarn!

You did a fantastic job! It looks great! I think you should use all 3 - two of them on the bottom left corner and then one near the top right. If you get really energetic, you can embroider stems on the purse to connect them!
I like the way you have the flowers in the first picture. You did an awesome job on the purse!! Love it =)
I like the 2nd and 4th, but all are beautiful. Nice job :)!!
That turned out great. I love the first picture with all three flowers. So cute.
