I have a work friend who's just mad about the Dallas Cowboys...
...and I thought that a sports-themed tote would be a fun Christmas gift for him this year.
My drawing skills being as they are, however...
...I'm afraid that it looks a bit more like a tote for the 'Dallas Starfish', than the Cowboys!
Next time: a book tote with a slightly 'naughty' message. ,)

Delightful - and I'm sure the design is close enough for your friend!
Very nice, and I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated. :)
Rachel and Sandie-Thanks! After the Cowboys' loss last night, I'm sure my felted representation is the least of their worries! ;)
