My Tote Addiction

Remember when I made Grayson this tote? Obviously you weren't paying attention then - you can see it here . hmmph.

Well I have a secret. I bought 3 medium sized totes first and then decided they weren't big enough for daily school jaunts. So I made Grayson a large one and had 3 leftover mediums. I've used 2 of them already - I made Ethan this one - Ethan belongs to my friend Katherine over at Another Day, Another Moment. Totally unrelated - she's writing a book and let me read some of it. MORE - I need more!
Then I made this one for my friend Lindsey's daughter Natalee over at Austin Antics. She was nice enough to not make fun of my shoddy stitching. That's a good friend.

These were all hand-stitched because I do not trust the sewing machine yet. Or my sewing machine skills.

I already know what you are thinking - "OOOH Brandy - those are so cool. And I LOVE it and I NEED one for my very own"

Here's ANOTHER secret - A Brandy original could be yours. If you've been keeping up - I bought 3 medium bags - I've used 2 - that means I have 1 leftover. I feel like Sesame Street.

So how do YOU get a Brandy Tote? NO - I will NOT be selling these - and once you read the rules you'll understand why.

Leave me a comment saying you want one - then I'll let random org decide. Now the rules -

You don't get to pick what it will look like.
And you have to love it no matter what it ends up looking like.
And you can NOT critique the shoddy stitching.
And You have to love me forever and ever and always.
And if takes me just a little while to do one and get it to you then shut your face. I work and have a toddler.
Oh - And I'll pick somebody next week. That is all.

If you don't want one of these because the rules are too muchness- you are still welcome to tell me how awesome I am.

So cute! Love them... and Natalee loves hers so much. If I wasn't the worst blogger in the world, I would have already taken pictures and posted about it. I'll try to do that and link to your awesome giveaway.

Ethan LOVES his. He used it this past weekend to carry his books to grandma's house! It's super cute and very sturdy.

I'll have to tell E he made an appearance on another blog. I just know he'll feel like a star!

And I hate to say it, but I haven't had any time to work on my book. :( But I should be able to get some work done on it this week. I hope! I'm ready to see what happens next!

I remember the bag you made for G because I knew then I needed one for Ethan when he starts his MDO program in the fall. I might make one if I ever get to sew ever again.

Dysfunctional Mom said...

I love totes, and I can't sew AT ALL, so who the heck am I to criticize anything you hand-sew?
That's why you should pick me.

Shannon said...
