First, I want to say thanks to everyone who supported me last week with the “sale”. It was nice to get a couple of totes sold and feel like I have some momentum pushing me forward into the upcoming season. I wanted to share some of my newest “makes”. The first is a tote bag for my Aunt. She is a cowgirl down to her toes and wanted me to make her a bag that reflected that. Well, home dec fabric doesn’t usually come in “horse” (at least not on the bolt at Joann’s) so I had to look at the cotton. I actually found this fabric and thought it just screamed my aunt’s name. I was worried about the cotton not having enough body for a tote bag, so I used black canvas and just inserted the cotton on a panel inside two strips of plain canvas. I really like how it turned out. It opens up a whole new set of possibilities for designs on tote bags and it’s something I have wanted to try for a while so I’m glad I had a reason to finally sit down and do it.

We are going through birthday cards like crazy! I have been paying Liesl to make them for us, but she can't keep up lately. These are darling! How many can you get for us, and at what price?
Thanks so much!
Marta
