    Rusty - you lucky thing. What a wonderful present. So many goodies to choose from

    Soblivion - you are a lovely person. That crochet bag is really good. I've never seen on like that before.

    Rusty you are so welcome, I am so glad you liked it, I was very nervous.
    Rusty is a lovely lady too, she's always helpful and so friendly to everyone, she makes such lovely and thoughtful gifts for everyone else and I just really thought she could do with a bit of cheering and a smile at the moment.

    Thank you everyone for your lovely comments, the bag is made from 2 DVD's and a bit of crochet so if Rusty gets fed up of it she can cut it apart and watch a movie though I'm not sure they're very good movies :rotfl:

    The handle is a piece of car washer pipe, the chap in the auto shop asked how much and how wide, I said 'I don't care I need it for a handbag handle', he was just roaring with laughter, he said he'll never get asked that again in his lifetime. LOL

    I really had loads of fun doing it all, so it was so very good for me too. It's lovely to craft for someone who likes handcrafted. Thanks to you too Rusty.
