We received a surprise in the mail on Friday a tote bag made by our friend
Ramona.
There is an embroidered me on the front.
Ms. Ramona has lots of pretty posies in her
yard. I'm glad she made a bed of posies for me.

After close inspection of this little jewel,
I decided I like it too.
Mom loves me more than hummers...I'm pretty sure!
Fast forward to TODAY, May 29, 2020
For the last 7 years I have used the beautiful tote to store anything I am
crocheting. Recently I noticed the bottom was wearing very thin so
My mind's eye knew exactly what to do.
Re-cycle, re-use, re-purpose....into a pillows.
I used every single bit of the bag too.
First up, embroidered Madi is on the front it makes me take a 2nd look
when I pass by the chair. It looks like Madi is sitting there.
The back is the lining fabric.
I have been looking for new pillows that are "ME".
Needless to say there are none 100% in Madi's likeness.
Or any with hummingbirds and my name on the.
These two are PURRFECT.
Ramona thank you A G A I N. I know you are
all about re-use and re-purposing things.

The tote was a lovely gift back in 2013 and now you have made it into lovely pillows! You did a great job, it is an awesome idea. You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you recycled the tote into some pillows for your home. lol....but, you were never suppose to see the back of the designs. I hope there was not a tangled mess hiding behind the lining........because that was when I was learning how to use the embroidery machine. Sometimes, it had a kink in it's bobbin and didn't want to perform for me.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
That was a great idea! The pillows came out great. Nice photos too. XO
