May 30th, 2007 - Make your own canvas bag

As Michael noted in a comment, you can make your own canvas bags, as his friend Mike did: canvas bag directions. (I strongly encourage you to read the entire post. You can skip the sewing directions if you aren’t interested. The cool part is what they did with all the bags they made. Go Mike! Okay, I think need to Bloglines* his blog finally. Don’t know why I haven’t before.)

(By the way, other readers, I’m hoping for the funniest wedding party at my brother’s wedding. Check out the names: bride: Ann Marie. Groom: Michael. Bridesmaid: AnnMarie. (these three are already set) Best man and groomsmen: could both Michael as well (not sure on these, but my brother does have a best friend named Michael [the above Mike] and Ann Marie’s brother’s name is also Michael). All we need is a matron/maid of honor named AnnMarie. Unfortunately, Ann Marie’s sister’s name is something other than Ann Marie and she’s already been made MOH. LOL. Yes, family get togethers will be confusing! It’s already had to figure out which AnnMarie/Ann Marie we’re talking about. I sometimes have a hard time talking to my daughter about Ann Marie because it’s just plain weird to use my first name with her even though I’m talking about someone else. LOL)

* If you read a lot of blogs and don’t use Bloglines or another RSS reader, you are really missing out. You subscribe via Bloglines to the blogs you like to read, and it keeps track of new (and updated) posts for you. I just go to my Bloglines account each day, and I see a list of everything that’s been posted since I last looked. Even better: You can mark posts to be saved. So all those yummy recipes from FrugalVeggieMama I want to make someday? Saved in Bloglines! All those great posts from MoneyDummer? Saved in Bloglines. You can organize them into folders; I made one for favorites so that I see them at the top of the list!

    Hi, AnnMarie! I don’t know why I haven’t discovered your blog before this-sometimes I’m a little slow :)

    I love using my canvas bags for grocery shopping. They are so much more sturdy than those plastic or paper bags. So i really load them up and i get a good anti-osteoporosis workout to boot.
