They are a good way of packing a present and making a simple gift a bit special, I often pop something extra into one of the pockets.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-1939894031859844022014-06-22T23:42:57.994+01:002014-06-22T23:42:57.994+01:00I like your bags.

I like making bags and there is always someone due a present and wrapping paper is a waste of money, if you use a bag for wrapping they get a double pressy. I have sold quite a few in the past, I may put my toe in the water here and see if there is a market.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-32837998045011949412014-06-22T20:04:03.854+01:002014-06-22T20:04:03.854+01:00I love your bags, Pam.

I made 12 large squares, joined them together and I'm now working a border around it to make a lap throw. It's intended as a birthday pressie for my mother in law (birthday on Xmas eve) who is in a nursing home in Bridgend. I didn't sew my squares together I crocheted them using a method I found in a magazine. You simply pick up a back loop from each square so you have 2 loops on your hook, wrap wool over the hook and pull through both loops, then repeat all the way along the seam. It makes a slight ridge on the wrong side but a very neat seam on the right side and I found it much easier and faster than sewing them together.Helenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963972925920465515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-19360080203680025822014-06-22T07:09:47.695+01:002014-06-22T07:09:47.695+01:00Just like me Ben is building up a circle of new fr...Just like me Ben is building up a circle of new friend and acquaintances. He sees so many more dogs here then in Tydd. There are many more houses here and the field that we visit is pretty central. He is sleeping more in the evening, after a game of ball in the garden, and he is eating more as well.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-52575663429178350152014-06-22T07:05:56.524+01:002014-06-22T07:05:56.524+01:00I agree with you, and so does Ben, mind you he doe...I agree with you, and so does Ben, mind you he does have a perfectly soppy look and a very snooty one that he uses to his advantage.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-80589337699527923952014-06-22T06:30:26.363+01:002014-06-22T06:30:26.363+01:00My you have been busy haven't you, I love it w...My you have been busy haven't you, I love it when the pooches find someone good to play with and especially when it tires them out! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597069824333007603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-64687615512811388752014-06-22T01:45:12.979+01:002014-06-22T01:45:12.979+01:00Very handsome hound!Very handsome hound!50 and countinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051116860123693646noreply@blogger.com
