Whoooo's Cute?

 Well, it is super chilly here today! The sun is shining which is a treat, however, don't let it fool you. This morning the temperature is hovering around -28 with a windchill bringing us to -32. Needless to say my regular hour long walk with my pup is not going to happen so I am using it as an opportunity to curl up with a cup of tea and post some pictures of a lovely owl tote.  This bag was ordered for a new baby boy, and the colours are just the best.

Whooo's the cutest?

Check out the polka dot lining - cherry red with white polka dots just makes you smile : )

This tote bag is the larger size, and would make an excellent day to day bag for baby's many necessities. The straps are long enough to easily throw the tote over your shoulder and head out on your adventures. Gussets provide a sturdy base for the tote bag allowing it to sit flat so you can see all the goodies inside. Here are a few more pictures of this cheery tote.

I have been busily preparing the invitations for the baby shower I am hosting for my brother and his family. We have decided on a book themed party and it would seem that the ideas on Pinterest are endless. I am having so much fun thinking about it all and planning for the big day. Too many ideas and too little time. If you would like to visit my baby shower Pinterest board, here is the link: http://www.pinterest.com/bryerpatchtotes/baby-shower-ideas/. Don't say I didn't warn you though - you might find yourself lost in the Pinterest vortex. Stay cozy today!

A Tote for Sophie and Exciting News!

Well, Happy New Year to one and all! I took these pictures just before the holidays so there is a Christmas theme to them. We had a lovely holiday, and have now settled back into our regular routine. The first week back was very exhausting, however, I think we are all feeling the groove and contentment of being back to the familiar. 

Here are a few pictures of a lovely little tote bag for Sophie. I adore the vintage feel to the floral fabric and the teal blue is a wonderful contrast for the apple green leaves.

Although I was on a bag sewing binge before the holidays, my current sewing interests are focused on a very exciting new development in our family. My brother and his wife are expecting baby number 3!!! So, I have been creating and sewing so many baby items. I can't wait to share them with you in the days ahead. We know that we will be welcoming a nephew, so lots of little boy projects are currently on my sewing table.  I visited Hobby Lobby and Joanne's fabrics recently, a rare treat for this Canadian girl! I might have gotten just a little carried away with my purchases but I have to say it was such a delight! 

Enjoy the pictures of Miss Sophie's sweet tote!
