Bucket bag

A couple of weeks ago we made a bucket bag at Craft Den, instructed by the very talented and patient, and I mean patient Jo, we had to make these flying swans.  Well she tried and tried her best to make it easy for us all, but no chance.  It took us ages and by the end of the day Jo was bright red in the face and had a bit of a dab on, lol.  Still we certainly laughed and laughed and eventually managed to get it right.  


You can see the 'flying swans' here



Different angle


Here you can see the toggle which helps to fasten it


You may wonder why there is a fly swatter on one of the photos - well a pesky wasp decided to land on my head, so I ran around a bit, hands all over the place trying to get rid of it, just made it madder, so got the b***er with the swatter!

  11. The bag is fantastic Ann, love the colours :-)
    I'm going to speak up for the wasps, they only sting if you annoy them. I know it's very difficult though, a lot of people hate them DD once got out of a taxi on Lord St Southport (busy street) flung her bag on the ground and spilled the contents trying to secape a wasp and another time ran in to the middle of the road to get away :-/
