...gets a new lease on life as a tote!
This project was easy peasy, and so fun to make! As I was sewing it up, I began to think it needed a little something extra though...something like~
~a rosette with a button in the middle! I had never made one of these before, and I don't think I have mastered the art yet. My first impression of mine was that it looked more like a cinnamon roll than a rosette, but it grew on me! I do like the brown linen with the red wool, though! :)
If you would like to make your own tote, you will find the tutorial for it here, at The Shabby Nest. And if you are thinking you would like to learn to make a rosette, I found a great tutorial for it here.
I hope you are having a great week so far, and that you have a good night! :)

Okay, about Gooseberry Patch...Guess what? About a week after I posted about their bookazine they had a giveaway that if you blog or "Have" blogged about them you could win. So I linked my Gooseberry Patch post to them....AND... I....WON!!!! You are the first blogger who is not my family that I've told. I won 3 books of my choice!!! The three recipe/craft books I asked for all where $28 EACH! Is that crazy? It's like an early Christmas for me, I've been wanting these books forever!!!!Happy Dance here! They are always having giveaways on their blog too.
Okay, so it looks like I'm writing a book too. :)

That is so pretty! I love projects that reuse something that might otherwise get thrown out. The rosette add just the right amount of cuteness to it!
