Firstly a big thank you to everyone who shared with me their word for the year. It was wonderful for me to read them and I thought it was a great way to start 2010 here in this blog.
Secondly, I'm still having a little trouble with my coding for this template (though dates and widgets are now fixed!). Whenever I link to things the words are not highlighted or underlined in any way that shows its a link until you hover your mouse over it. So trying to figure out why that is. If anyone out there can help me, please don't hesitate to contact me! :)
Now back to the purpose of this post. Some time ago, I picked up an old musty bowling bag from a school fete. I started to recover it and turn it into an overnight bag but then ran out of glue....then I got slack. But I found myself having a free hour today, and so I thought I'd finish it. And here it is!
Inside is not as neat as I would have liked. I underestimated how much the fabric would fold into the corners. Still, I can live with the inside being like this.As usual, all materials used (except for glue) were sourced second hand.
The bowling bag is the perfect size for taking as overhead luggage in a plane. I may end up having to do some short trips this year for work so it'll be nice to carry this around to show it off.
So anyone else finished their first 2010 craft project? If you have please let me know! I would love to have a look.

Very, very, very cool! I love it!
Looks great - I love the fabric you have used. I posted my first two finished projects for the year on my blog today.
Hi Eilleen - I'm not sure exactly how you edit your layout thingy, but if you change this line:
a { color:#000000; text-decoration: none;}
to this:
a { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline;}
it will underline all your links for you. Or you can change the colour or whatever else you'd like to do. Just do a search for that line of text in the source, it's only in there once.
Zed - you are a legend!! Thank you so much!!
Karls - thank you!
Michelle - thanks for the compliment. Off to check your project now. :)
Blimey you are very efficient and its beautiful too! It is very funky and I think you would look great sauntering through an airport with it!

Loving the bag!
... but are you kidding me? Finish a project already? ... the only thing I've finished are G&T's while lounging in the pool :)
Great start to the new year.
Thanks Jen and Sally!
LOL @ Sally - well, I did start this back in October...so its not like I started from scratch. I'm planning on doing something this weekend but haven't yet made up my mind what it would be. :)
Thanks again!
That is super-sweet - I love it!!!
Just out of curiosity...is a bowling bag meant to carry your 10 pin bowling ball or is it more of a lawn bowls thing or is it just called a bowling bag and actually has nothing to do with bowling at all?
Thanks Sharon :). The bowling bag is a lawn balls bag - meant to hold lawn balls. I had to remove the mouldy casings inside where the individual balls were held then wash, dry and recover the exposed plywood left behind.
