Down-to-Earth Bag



OK. I needed to do something different. 
So I made this simple bag :) (Like it very much.)
I used cotton cooking twine  and the only embellishment is this huge, simple bamboo button.



In the spirit of Valentine, here is my little wire & coking twine heart with a smaller button and a little something to celebrate gorgeous Australian nature.


Hope you're having a great weekend!

Love, DK
