Bag Challenge!

I spent the night yesterday with my dad's two sisters in their studio, or crafting room. 

I have recently taken up needle felting. Really fun and easy. Here is my first attempt at making something: an owl.

I had a problem, though. I had a ton of supplies: needles, pads to work on, books, and lots of wool roving, and all I had to carry it in was a couple plastic shopping bags. It just wasn't working.

Since my aunts are both very crafty and clever, I knew that they would help my make a bag big enough to hold it all, and still look fabulous and stylish. 

They love a good challenge and were thrilled to help. 

Between the three of us, this is what we made.

It is made out of two pairs of old jeans. We even used the waistbands; they are the handles. We used as much of the two jeans as we could. Almost everything, in fact. It is huge. It holds all my supplies, with room for more.

It was so much fun. Thanks for helping me out Aunt Karla and Aunt Diane.
