Meet my new favorite thing; The Taylor Tote. I am headed to Blissdom this week (eeek!). I should be planning what I am going to wear or packing or doing laundry. But instead I prepared by making a tote bag, And I love it.
I wanted black and white stripes, hot pink trim and brown leather… but after a late night JoAnn’s visit that involved all the boys, a toddler meltdown and one throwing up – this is what I came home with (yes one really did throw up at JoAnn’s)
From what I hear, I will need to carry around a lot of stuff. There are 3 classes the first day and 2 on the second day. I’m going to bring my DSLR and I need space for all the i’s- so made an iPad and an iPhone pouch.
I also made extra wide handles, which are a definite must so I can load my bag full of stuff from the handmade market :)
Apparently everyone loves the new tote, including a red wasp who tried to be a part of my photo session.
Random fact- last summer I was attacked my a ball of red wasps that my son was trying to grab, he was un-phased and I couldn’t walk for days. Now I call them tracker jackers.
Speaking of packing, if you have been to a blog conference pretty please give me some tips!! What does everyone wear on the dress up night? How fancy do people get for the classes? And what do I need to bring besides the “regular stuff”? And if you are going to Blissdom in Dallas this week then leave your info!!
GAH!!! It’s perfect! Make me one?!! I will pay you! I mean, you only have 3 days! That’s enough time, right?! lol
That gold is just… PERFECT. Can’t get any better than this! Love it! And I am not at all envious of that Jo Ann’s trip you had… ;)
wowza, it’s awesome~!
SOOOO cute, Taylor! Belatedly popping over from the Blissdom FB group. Hope to meet you there!! I’ll look for the tote to find you! :)

Hi Taylor, Love your website! I’ve learned so many things here and have made so many neat projects thanks to you. Love this bag! Will you put up instructions? You’re such a talent!
Hi jennie, I was thinking of writing a tutorial soon! Stay tuned :)
Hiya,
I really like this bag, I have searched for a template to make one like it but can ‘t find one, do you have one that you used?
Thanks
