super speedy

This hook is amazing... I don't think I'm going to want to give it back!

Earlier I hooked up this jute shopping bag. I'm always amazed at how much this style of bag s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s. This one has about 35 - 40 apples inside. Amazing stretch...

I've added a few wooden beads to embellish it.

Time expended? Well under an hour. In fact, you could almost make two in an hour!

    The grocery bag looks great and seems to hold an awful lot. Could you lift it with that many apples inside it. Should Cristina be worried about getting it back. Perhaps you need to get one for Christmas.

    sue - Cristina should be VERY worried about getting her hook back! Christmas is just too far away for me :)

    I could lift the bag, but I wouldn't want to have carried it very far... it's a lotta apples!
