Tote bags

I joined a secret sister swap....and the girl that I was partnered with loves tote bags.....so I got the idea to combine a tote bag with my love with crochet.....I made her one and I also made Gracie and I one.  Here are the final outcomes.  What do you think (I love them)?

This was the first one I made....it was for Gracie....pretty plain....jut getting an idea of what I doing....but she loved it!

Tote number 2 for my secret sister.  She not only collected tote bags but she loves anything with a cupcat on it....so it is what I can up with...

Up close of the tot
e for my secret sister, showing the charms....A cross (she's a Christian),  P for her name and a cupcake.

And finally my tote, with flowers on it.  I want to add some more charms some time.

Another view of mine....

  I really like how they turned out.....cheap, fast and very cute and unusual....

Sneak Peek of Baby Dresses that are almost completed

Earlier this year I had the great pleasure of making my very first baby dress when testing a pattern for Crafting Friends.  You can find Kate and her awesome designs on Facebook at: Crafting-Friends.  Since that first awesome dress, I have now purchased every dress pattern she has, and anxiously await each new one, had the honor of testing so many more dresses (various ones in various sizes) for her!  I'm obsessed! lol

Here are a few of the dresses that are complete except for those finishing touches that I need to put on each...buttons, ribbons, etc.
