Happy April!!
It's a beautiful Spring day today ... cool but sunny....
For some reason I woke this morning and thought it was Monday ... I got up early...(ish) and it was only later that I realised it was Sunday ... Still it gave me chance to visit you all while the house is silent and I'm sipping my coffee.... even the cat has gone out after a playful hour.
Yesterday my hubby went off to the football match and I got to spend time creating ... another thing to cross of my 'to do' list ... A Tote Bag ...
Lots of pretty fabric butterflies ... on which I used some iron on interfacing first and then ran through my Sizzix using my PTI die and a Sizzix die
A handmade flower with a glitzy button from Lauren ...
Fabric frills and a row of pretty roses ... not sure you can see the sparkle on these ... but it is there
And Voila!
My pretty Tote Bag ... I'm so pleased with this
And just to give it some durability I lined it first with cotton fabric and then some clear vinyl fabric
... and added some velcro to fasten it with
Sorry the pictures are not that good but you get the idea ...
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday ... This is my last post for my new blog book ... I can hardly believe that I have been blogging for 2 years tomorrow and I intend to have a book printed for each year I blog.
Thanks so much for visiting me today and for all your wonderful comments that inspire me and encourage me ...
Till soon

Lovely! Wouldn't it be nice to fill it with little presents for a baby boy's birth? Changing some details to more boy-ish, maybe :>)
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Cheers!

Apart from being a superb card maker you are also a tremendously fine seemstress Ros, your tote bag turned out lovely with those fine blue colours and the lining is so pretty!!
ooooooooh Ros that's so beautiful!!! I love the colours and... everything really :) Thank you for the lovely comment you left me, I loved joining the CCCB challenge and will definitely pop up again anytime soon. Have a wonderful sunday, xo Wendy
Your tote bag is lovely, Ros! and two years of blogging and another book is fabulous! Hope you have a beautiful Monday, perhaps you were trying to fool yourself by thinking it was already Monday on April Fool's Day!
Such a pretty tote bag, Ros. I love all those beautiful butterflies. It makes me want to get out my sewing machine and make something pretty, too. Gorgeous work! x
What a lovely bag. I just love those layers of fabric and all those butterflies look wonderful..

It's gorgeous Ros! Love all those flounces and gorgeous roses and butterflies. You'll be gadding about in style now. :-) Hugs!
So pretty Ros! Love the fabric flowers and little butterflies fluttering about! :) TFS
I love love the bag! Weirdly enough I was admiring a different styled but 'ruffled' bag just recently. A fab idea to add the wipe clean element! Congrats on nearly two years of blogging too! 2 years of beautiful projects! xx
WOW! Pure spring-like gorgeousness!! Like a fresh breeze of cool air in April! Great job, Ros!!
Have a wonderful week!
Hugs,

Is there anything you can't do Ros?! This is so PRETTY and FABULOUS! LOVE it!
Wow, this bag is stunning, I love the frills. You've inspired me to make one, when I get a bit of spare time. Thanks for sharing.xxx
OH MY GOSH, This is so gorgeous that I'd have to go out every day just so I could carry it!! It is breathtaking, Ros. Do your talents know no boundaries? You are amazing!!!

That is so pretty, I have wanted to make a ruffled bag like this for the longest time, but never get my act together : ( Happy to see a prettier one from you though!
What a sweet tote bag! Another project that makes me wish I knew how to use thread and needle...
