It was very mild and rained last week. The next day it became cold us usual, so the road became icy and slippery. Walking and driving on a icy slippery road is sooooo scary!

Eco-friendly tote bag 2009,Feb, 1st

3, I wanted to use same fabric as the beige side, but I changed my mind. When I thought about Obama, I remembered that I have a US flag bandanna. So, I used this bandanna for the other side. I used some quilt batting to reinforce this bag. This is not so cool, but this is only one in the world. So, it is not so bad.(?)

2, While I was stitching some dusters and some kitchen towels several days ago, I suddenly wanted to make a hand stitched tote bag. Then, I looked into a closet to find some fabrics. I found this beige cotton fabric. I thought it is perfect for hand stitching, because its textile is very coarse. And I was right. Yeah! I again made a playful childish tote bag.

1,I appliqueted this fabric label which my sister gave me last year.
