”…..Have you heard the Gossip Doris….?? ”
”I’M on the fence about IT Betty…..!!”                                                                     Here we go again….with another unique Tote Bag – this time with ‘Knitting Sheep in Boots’ 🙂  …….I’m starting to think, maybe….I need therapy, to move on from my little sheep creations – BUT, on the upside I found another use for some more little coloured wooden flower buttons!! 🙂

If you are looking to ”GO GREEN” …then, this is most definitely a bag for you 😉
The front of this little handy tote has a central patchwork landscape panel with hand appliquéd ‘gossiping sheep’ – both whiling their time away, knitting from the little lamb in the sheep dip – It would seem…..It’s purple season in the sheep fashion world 😉
The addition of some coordinating, little painted wooden buttons, finishes off the cute countryside scene perfectly !

A perfect little novelty bag, especially as the lambing season is only weeks away – It’s sure to put a Spring in Your Step with all its cute colourful quirkiness !! Oh…But I couldn’t leave it there….. A little design for the reverse, and of course, another for my inside multi-pocket 😀

Another captured moment of the little pair- framed within a patchwork hand quilted panel!

My triple internal multi-pocket design (One with a zip fastening for extra security)
As ever, I think the inside is just as important as the outside – so…why not have a little sheep in there too???! 😉

A SUPER CUTE Unique Novelty bag, perfect for all manner of occasions – Or, Just for fun!! Looking for something completely unique, and lovingly handmade ?….maybe, for a knitter/wool crafter’s gift – what better to hold their little projects safe and sound whilst out and about?!… than a lovely quality cotton handmade ”knitting sheep tote” https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/227700377/unique-patchwork-tote-free-shipping-cute?ref=shop_home_active_1

…I might just resort to a self healing therapy!!!….I do have another little sheep project itching to get underway, now this one is finished….maybe, that will cure me ??? 😉

Sheep knitting
Framed fabric art collage

This little picture has been made from a selection of different fabrics to create a cute quirky scene. whilst I have machine stitched the background fabrics together, all the little applique pieces after that have been hand drawn, cut then stitched in place. The sheep sitting on the fence is one of my own drawings and though I may do a similar scene no two are ever completely alike, making them a unique piece of art!

If its been made by me at Caren’s creative canvas and craft there is only ever one like it in existence. If you find there isn’t something you want on my Etsy shop, please feel to contact me about a new creation idea! Items seem to ”fly off the shelves” sometimes before I even get to show what I have made, as in this case, which I don’t mind at all, but if you feel you might have missed out on something, a request can always see another unique similar creation happen!!

For fun I knitted some embroidery thread on two tooth picks to give the impression that the sheep is knitting from the wool of the smaller green sheep in the dye dip tub. For the effects of fencing I used small strips cut from a tapestry backing and stitched them in place too. Some simple embroidered grasses and flowers to decorate the foreground, with the final finishing touch of placing it on a felt backing and bordering it with cream cotton and then quilting the sky fabric to create texture on the plain fabric!

Photographed again without glass for added detail without reflections then safely mounted and glass replaced.

Now back to that ever growing pile of fabric……
