please take a looksy...

Last week I was lucky enough to receive a parcel in the mail after swapping one of the jug covers I'd made.   I indicated that some fabric remnants would be more than enough for the jug cover so you can imagine my 'glee' when I opened the parcel to find  not only lovely remnants but this...

You know when you receive something out of the blue and it's exactly the something you've been looking for?  Well this was one of those moments for me.  It's absolutely 120% perfect for....

housing my fine crochet projects. There are 17 cones of tapestry workshop delight in this here bag.  Surely not?  No, I'm afraid there is.

Don't ask me why I need to carry around that many cones- I am probably a tad neurotic but you see, if the urge hits and I'm not equipped...well, I just don't want to think about it.

The great thing is it's not a huge bulky bag but a good handbag sized bag.  It also has those extra long but not too long straps so you can carry it on your shoulder comfortably. 
So who do I owe a big, huge, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to?

Yes, it's from the wonderful Leonie from Raglan Guld.  Thank you so much Leonie.  I absolutely love, love, love this bag.  It's so perfect.  It's just meant to be.
