For a little break from landscapes, I thought I'd add some more to the Christmas box and this tote bag was the result. There's a couple of accessory pieces underway that I will show you later. The recipient loves highland cows and I was able to get a piece of her family tartan so this is the result...
Pattern for the bag is THIS one. I purchased commercial leather handles rather than making them myself.
- How about crocheting one of those emotional support chickens I keep seeing around the internet? Go HERE.
- I rather like THIS little bag.
- Some things just bring on an involuntary awwwwww - THIS.
- I like THIS too. And THIS sweet little companion piece.
Today's quote is from Fyodor Dostoyevsky...."People speak sometimes about the bestial cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel"
Beautiful bag! Changing up from quilting is always fun to see what you’ve been up to.

Every once in awhile I have to throw in another project while my mind percolates on what the next landscape will be.
DeleteSherryofcreateology: Good Monday Morning Dear: I love your new Christmas gift Tote. You have personalized it fully for the recipient. Lots of great links…thank you. WOW! Another excellent quote. Wonderful Week to you and RC.
ReplyDeleteI hope my friend will like it - she doesn't read my blog so it's safe to show it. I'm awaiting delivery of some highland cows zipper pulls that will personalize the companion pieces further.
DeleteI love ❤️ the bag 🎒 It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I hope my friend likes it too!
DeleteJust a lovely tote bag you've made!! I love the addition of those leather handles--really sturdy!! Nice work--i am sure your friend will really fall in love with it;))0 hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWell I know she loves highland cows and her family tartan so fingers crossed she will like it.
DeleteWhat a lovely tote bag. The leather handles and the highland cows really give it a personal touch. If I could actually crochet I would love to make that brooch.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It was a fun tote bag to make so I might be making more at some point.
DeleteThat is a wonderful tote bag! And the handles are really nice!
ReplyDeleteMy friend is of Scottish descent and that's her family tartan and she also has fallen in love with Highland cows, so it makes for a perfect marriage.
DeleteI'm thinking about making tote bags for my friends for Christmas. This would be a very nice one!
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice tote but I think if I were to do it again I'd make it a little bit taller and a little bit narrower.
DeleteVery personalized. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I hope my friend likes it too.
