Holly Hobbie Tote & Flowers

I thought I would share with you today some projects I worked on this week. I love Holly Hobbie and have alot of finished needlework in baskets waiting for me to do something with them. I thought this week I would try to get some of my Holly Hobbie's done and out where I can enjoy them. The one I finished this week is done in crewel embroidery in the late 70's. I made this cute little stitching couple into a market tote bag. It does not have a flat bottom, just a plain little carryall.

I made the handles long enough to use as a shoulder bag.

I choose the blue and yellow, because it matched the threads in the needlework but I also needed a blue tote. In the summer I like to change bags to match what I am wearing.

Of couse I had to have some bling. I bought this daisy charm a few years ago, it remined me of my dear sweet Aunt Jean, she loved daisies!

Here is a close up, I just the love the sweet face on the student, she looks so interested! These two girls remind me so much of my sister and I. She was always teaching me while I was growing up and she still does!! LOL

Below is the other project I worked on this week, I bought this pretty green wicker vase from Katie's Rose Cottage . She always has something new and interesting on her website. I filled it with pearls and pretty roses in shades of pink and white.

Here is a close up of the roses! I can't wait for my roses to bloom in my cottage garden! I'll be sure to share pics with you!

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to chat with you. Be sure to stop back I have so many fun posts in the making! Shirl
