I asked our library to buy a copy of Handmade Home and was quite excited to get it the other week. The first thing to really catch my eye as I had a quick flip through was the rag bag. I grew up with a rag bag in our home but have never had one as an adult. At our old home I had cupboards in the laundry room and I stored all our rags in there.

I added some bias tape handles and then, since I had decided not to do the fabric ball decorative bits, I thought it still needed a little something.

Ooo, I love that! I'm going to make a few of those as well! I can't wait for turn on the library wait list. :-)

By the way, those tomato skins are famous over here. I was somewhere the other day and a mother came up to me and said "I was reading on your blog about that woman's [aka: you and Mary-Sue] tomato skins and I wondered how they were?"
I just went to re-order it, Samantha and now I have to wait awhile. :-(
Shelia, our library is Amazing! Worth moving to the Okanagan for. That is one of my stipulations for finding our acreage - it has to be in our library system area because I Love them. Seriously. The only other stipulation is the property has to be in a good tomato growing area. See how easy to please I am? Good tomatoes and good books, that's all it takes. :-)
W just asked them to buy another Christopher Hart cartooning book and the newer Doris Kindersley Lego Star Wars book and they already have them on order.
I love this bag! We need some in our house too!
