Pardonnez-moi s'il vous plaît !!

I have missed my travel Tuesday post (its Wednesday!) …. I haven’t practiced my French AT ALL ( in less you count the title of this post!) and I’ve haven’t checked in to all the fun things that you all have been up too! Now I remember the reason I started my blog when the girls started school….I had time to post & keep up! I’ve got a whole half hour right now, so I have a little project I want to share & then I’m off to check out what all of you have been up to!!
Here’s a cute idea to dress up a plain tote....

All you need is some fabric markers, a stencil (or free hand a design if your able) embroidery thread, embroidery ring, tote & a sewing needle.

Decide where you’d like your design to be on the tote. Hold stencil in place & begin coloring in the colors of your choice. Let dry. Now place the in the embroidery ring.

Pick your color thread & begin to trace around the area with the thread. I used the simple pattern ……

I think it gives the tote so much personality with out a lot of work!

With all the different stencils out there the possibilities are endless!

And if you don't want to go to the trouble to make your own, you can always stop by my shop & order your own  :D

(P.S I have been having some probs. commenting this morning. It keeps leaving my comment multipule times on the same post! Sorry! Don't you just love blogger !)
