we are having a beautiful fall here in ohio but
the dipping temps are a reminder that winter is just around the corner
our primary heat source is wood & while i love the coziness of a fire,
it is messy & loads of work for the hubs
we've had the same log carrier for 10 years
it serves the purpose of carrying in logs,
but it doesn't contain the mess
and wood is messy
soooo, i started searching online for something more efficient
i found several options but all expensive...$60 & up for a canvas bag plus shipping
i had an idea....
i used duck cloth & dowel,
broke 5 needles & spent the better part of a day
making a pattern
but....
i only spent $6.00 on fabric,( joanns had a 60%off coupon) $2.00 on dowel & $5.00 to replace needles
the thread i had : )
it is exactly what i had in mind!
