Bag lady

I've been looking for a nice big bag for a while now. And was sick of looking like a bogan carrying round those coles green enviro bags, and finding most tote bags not big enough and get dirty super quick. I tend to like and need to have more than one day on me at most times, Im on the go quite a lot flitting from place to place, different works etc and not being a driver I like to have heaps of crochet and bear things to do on the tram, a bottle water, an umbrella ( just in case) room for a scarf in case it gets cold and whatever else crap I need in there.( sometimes it's scary the things I find in my bags) Basically really my hoarding instinct is not just confined to the home.

i've been looking and looking for ages, second hand markets, etsy, op shops etc and not found anything I really loved or was big enough. ANd I didn't want to make on, because I can't make straight things.

I feel silly now as the answer had been staring me in the face. When i saw this glorious bag of Cam's I was immediately smitten, it seem just about the right size. Except someone else had basically beaten me to it.

She offered to make me another one, she said she had lots of vintage Australiana teatowels and was their anything I liked.

Echidnas and animals I replied. and while she thought Echidnas might be tough she might have some animals.

In total Cam fashion , she had searched and looked until she found the perfect thing. The extra trouble. That extra mile. Not only does my bag have lots of echidnas, it has all my other favourite Australian animals, wombats , platypus' and even a possum!

Thank you Cam soo much! I really really love it, and a more "me" bag " I do not think exists.

PS On other notes, I'm back with my baby- so my email's back to the normal jessmc@bigpond.com

I do love being squidgyandwonky- but I'm still not sure about gmail, and quite frankly I miss the dings and wooshes of mail.

PPS Squidgyandwonky isn't gone, it's just not my main email.
