Butterfly Tote

Hi all and I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far.  It was a beautiful day here today and tomorrow promises to be just as nice :)  Spring is coming early I hope.

If you follow me on Facebook, you may have already seen this.  I don't think I posted the pictures here yet though.

Since we are getting this nice weather, I want to share a tote that I did for a friend that is totally spring colors.    She wanted it for her mom and was using it as the gift bag and filling it with other gifts.  What a great idea!  I may just have to try that with some baby gift baskets, a knitters' gift basket - really it can be for any kind.  My girlfriend also ordered a couple more before this one for her girlfriend and she filled it with spa pamper stuff and then they both used them on their trip to Germany.  It was their carry-on and while sightseeing.  Ok,  on to the pictures.

This is one of my favorites I have made.  I love the colors! All the colors in the applique are pulled from the fabric.

These totes are so awesome because they can be made for any theme at all and they hold so much stuff.  Picture a summertime theme for the beach - ideal for your towel, book, wallet, cellphone, Ipod/Ipad - everything you need to take can fit in here.  You can even get a matching Ipad cover ( like the ones in my previous posts).

And just to share this and say so long:

another one of my favorites :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  I am off to do some online fabric shopping again.  Can't find another Michael Miller print that I need for a diaper bag.  One of the disadvantages of living in a smaller town.

Before I forget, drop by my Facebook page - as soon as it gets to 500 likes, there will be another giveaway of our own.  We are almost there!!
