Ordered and made thursday/Friday. Arrived bright and early this cold foggy monday morning. I put my phone in the photo for size comparison. It is not a 'mums-got-everything-in-there' bag. It's the perfect size for my phone, my wallet and my notebook which is all i need these days. And it has an adjustable strap so I can wear it across the body or on my shoulder. I asked for extra length in the strap so that the bag does not sit at boob level, like other bags I have bought and discarded over recent years, but down on my hip which is more comfortable. If you are thinking you could do with a nice neat bag, please visit 'Walkers Bags and More' on Facebook. I highly reccomend them.

So, fingers crossed. I'm going to be taking it very slowly as my last foray into crochet, a floor rug using torn fabric strips and a gigantic hook, resulted with swollen hands and I've broken my left hand and my right wrist since then. But meanwhile I've been working on an American
