Purses 1&2 (back)
Originally uploaded by Critical Mess.

Since moving from Seton Northwest to Seton Main two weeks ago, we've had 8 doctors, all of whom work for the same practice. Each doctor works a 24-hour shift, from noon one day to noon the next. Anna wanted to thank our doctors by embroidering a little something for them. Monogrammed handkerchiefs were her first thought, but she wanted to do something special for Dr. Cherry, the tall, giggly obstetrician who reminds us of an awkward high school honor student. A change purse with embroidered cherries seemed the obvious choice. About halfway through the project, she realized she could do purses for all the female doctors, and embroidered handkerchiefs for the men. Of course, the 3:1 female-to-male ratio means she's bitten off more than she intended. Two down, four to go.
