Re: Tote Swap - UPDATE 10-1-08
Anyone else wondering what is the deal here on this swap? It seems that 7 out of the 16 sign ups have not received their totes! If you have had to bow out for whatever reason please let us know and we will understand!! Mine was mailed out priority mail on Thursday Aug 28 and should be arriving at the destination today! Hope the receiver enjoys it!!
Happy Stitching and Have a good Labor Day!

Thanks all for the compliments on the tote. It's the first thing I've ever embellished and I have to say that I did pretty well! It was great fun. 1 tip for future reference, the beads are heavy, so if I were to do it again, I would probably put some medium to heavy interfacing, something to make the bag stand up better.
I hope everyone gets their totes! I'm using mine for my hand working projects!

OMG - I finally got to the PO yesterday and received a beautiful tote from Lisa (Redsaltbox). The fall colors are fab-u-lous. Now remember I don't have a digital camera yet but I'll try to get a picture with my cell phone tonight and post a picture tomorrow.

Here is the tote I sent DJ.


The photo is very bright. The color is more rust than orange.

Lisa, I love your tote!! It is so cute! And how nice of you to make a mug mat too. How did you make that? That sounds like something fun to make and would smell good too. Great job!!
