Just call me the bag lady

 

  I was looking for buttons ... and came across some circular bag handles.  There's always plenty of diamonds on hand, so whipped up 24 into another bag.

I alos popped into the local Marina chandlery for some cord, and replaced the handle on the previous bag.  I had to flatten it a lot to get it under the sewing machine foot, and it has now unravelled further below the stitching to give a rather pleasing fluffy effect.  Enough left for two more.  It was quite a bit more expensive than I thought, but then if it has to secure a boat in the water it has to be strong!

Now, whot other style of bag can I make with these diamonds?

 

Cover-up(cycled)

I think the photos say it all!
 

A bit of a letdown!

 

The bench seat on the patio, that I had so painstakingly painted earlier this year  broke when my son and little E sat on it.   Very disconcerting!  Three days later I assembled a new one, which looks a better design in the support of the seat with cross-struts.  Will be knitting a cover for this?  Somehow I don't think so! 😄
