I discovered something last year. I discovered that I love working with material. I've started finding ways to actually use this 'new' discovery. Last year I made over 3 dozen little Christmas pillows. They were black and green and red, with many different designs. The funny thing is that people didn't put them away after the holiday.
This year I've been making reversible totes. I've been enjoying myself.
I have no intentions of turning my blog into a sales pitch - however, I think I have plenty of time to make 4 or 5 extra totes before Christmas. So, if you'd like to order a Tote by Cheerio for yourself or as a gift for someone else, shoot me an e-mail. (cheerio2you@yahoo.com)
Here are some pictures of ones I've done so far.
I love this little holiday birdie print! It's whimsical, which totally matches my personality.

Reversible Totes by Cheerio would be custom made.

(I do not have an embroidery machine, so monogram is hand fed through regular sewing machine)

No pressure, no problem, I hope you at least enjoyed the pics.
