Half the fun for me is in using things that are made for me, and living in hope that the things I make for others are also used. In a craft swap many years ago, I was given a lovely crocheted bag for my craft bag. It is now getting on, some threads have loosened and I have repaired the places where it is getting thin. It is a beloved thing, and reminds me of the dear friend who made it for me.
