A Thing of Glorious Beauty!!
Just look at those colours!
This is the incredible tote I received from Erica in
Mouthy Stitches 2.
This is absolute perfection to me!
The incredible piecing and fabric selection had me "chuffed", as Moira would say!
I am so darn lucky!
And, oddly enough, I made a tote for Moira, and Moira made a tote for Erica!
Seriously??
It's like our own little "six degrees" thing going on here!
The Pat Bravo's Indie fabric is absolutely what I would have picked!
Love it so much!
The key fob is so cute too with those tiny flowers! Something I won't be
seeing for a least 6 months now!
Thank you so much, Erica!!

I did a bit of sewing this afternoon as well.
On my list of must do's was the open wide zippered pouch by Anna
at Noodlehead
She is always so generous in sharing her tutorials with us, and this one is fabulous!
I decided to make the smallest of the 3 sizes, and it was done in about 1.5 hours.
I did have to unpick once, as I had the zipper tab on the wrong side! Duh! Totally my own fault.
Love, love, love!
I used Essex linen in steel for the bottom, and the wonderful
Keep Calm from Timeless Treasures.
I forgot to take a photo on the inside, but I used Flea Market Fancy leaf dot in green.
I see many of these darlings in my future!
Thanks Anna, for a fabulous tutorial.
