When I saw blackboard cloth being sold by the yard  in a funky store – Lazy Susan’s  1974  Oak Bay Avenue in Victoria – I had to buy some.

What to do with it?  Several ideas came to mind – and a note that is still ‘simmering: I have enough fabric left – but the wish for a larger carryall for Knitting and books and post office’y stuff resulted in this.

The webbing is upholstery strips which  seemed perfect for the blackboard theme and which I happened to have in my stash; the best part is that I found it!

The point, of course, is the need to write things down before we ‘forget’ them, and……..the need to… now… add details……..:  the dot on my wrist that would have immediately reminded me of why I had written it a year or so ago now only gets a blank stare unless I have added to the dot extra information.

This bag has more space than my wrist!
