Wine Bottle Tote

For a birthday party this weekend I decided to bring a wine bottle, but I wanted to dress it up and give the birthday girl something she could use.  I figured I would crochet a wine tote.  There are a ton of patterns online and I blended a couple to make my own.

I added a rose to the top using the 5-petal Flower from Ska Mama's blog.  Then I made some wine lollipops using this recipe and wrote out labels with quotes about wine on each.  Tying them together with another rose.

Favorite quote I found about wine:
Drink wine, and you will sleep well. Sleep, and you will not sin. Avoid sin, and you will be saved. Ergo, drink wine and be saved. - Medieval German saying
