lMy May Flower Tote from here is now finished! And just in time as we flip the calendar from April to May.
.
Never mind, of course that last night snowflakes bigger than baseballs were falling from the sky.......April showers bring May...snowflakes??
.
.I added a crocheted lavendar mum as a sweet embellishmet.
.
The pattern for the mum I got from this book: ---> and yes, this book is one of my favorites.
(Wildflower HOT PADS & TOWEL TOPPERS by Patricia Hall)
The color of this I LOVE THIS YARN is so completely yummy....
.
.
...and with the interior fabric & faux leather handles & lavender mum....well, it is just perfect for all the gorgeous blossoms in our yard. Like this crab-apple tree that just erupts in pinkish petals.
,
Oh. And that's Jake, our golden retriever sniffing the entire lawn just in case he maybe didn't sniff that section the last time he was outside. Right. Like that is going to happen.
.
.I added foam-core to the inside bottom for added reinforcement and attached metal feet to give it a nice finished look.
.
I love the month of May.

'(another project that I have started: crocheted motifs that I hope will become a scarf & the Mother's Day card that I made for my mother-in-law)..

Have a blessed Mother's Day.

ReplyDeleteThis bag is simply perfect, very very pretty. I love the lining and the little flower, everything is so neat and you´ve done a brilliant job. The colours match beautifully, I would have never thought that lavender and this kind of blue go together so lovely.
