Monogrammed Project Tote

I finished my Monogrammed Project Tote! It turned out pretty cute and was fun to make.


I pretty much made it up as I went along - I hope I can make another soon and take down pattern notes as I go along - maybe even a tutorial. That's a nice thought.


Oh, YES, I do have a project in it already… I'm working on THIS!

First Project of 2010

After knitting 7 of these, 2 of these and 1 of these for Christmas gifts, I'm ready make something for ME. I have so many things I want to work on but it looks like the first project of 2010 will be a monogramed project tote for myself.


I'm looking forward to crafting a lot of projects this year for myself (and WZ). I also want to add more to Knitterella. Even throwing around the idea of doing a trade show or two - I always wanted to and this year might be the year to do it.

Here's to a happy, healthy, successful and inspiring 2010 for us all!!!

Little Embroidered Tote

Remember my little embroidery project? Well, here is the finished piece… a cute little drawstring project tote!


Since I always have a hat project on my needles I wanted to make a little project tote just big enough to carry one. I used the general instructions from this Simple Drawstring Bag tutorial - it's a great tutorial, so easy.

I hope to make more using custom little embroidered designs like this, and more of my many great fabric scraps. Would be nice gifts don't you think?

A Little Embroidery

Doing a little embroidery for another project that I'm working on…


I sketched out my illustration, traced it onto my fabric and started to stitch away…


Just a bit more to do - hopefully this little project will get done and not get lost in my craft room with a bunch of other UFOs!
