Soft shoes

I adore these little shoes. There are days where I would love a pair for myself, but these wouldn't fit my big toe!

Having fun with plastic bags

Last night while is was scrolling mindlessly through social media I saw a post about making a really cool shopping bag from plastic single use shopping bags... and since I have stopped using them way before they implemented the ban on single use shopping bags, I don't have any to play with... so... I used the next best thing... the bread bags which torment me.  I only had 3 to start playing with, but it is a start and the kids think it's the best thing ever.

I made the plarn cutting the bags in a long spiral and then have begun crocheting it. This will be the base of the bag, and I'm still trying to decide how I'm going to wing the rest of it.  I have some ideas of what I want to do with it though. The picture looks messy and I do need to trim ends etc, but it was a good way to keep my hands busy and not kill brain cells trawling through pages of rubbish online 😊

Stay tuned for updates, though I suspect this could be a long term project as we o my use one or two loaves of bread a week.
