Just starting out

I wanted a place to bring all those lovely things that I found, and specifically because my sister Jane is so beautifully gifted with crafts.  She loves the primitive style and can do just about anything she sets her mind to. So I want to start with the chicken feed bag she made for me.
Jane has a friend who raises chickens and who gives her the feed bags.  They are very sturdy, and Jane uses them for the mail and office work.  I plan to use mine as a grocery bag.  The bag said "50 lbs" so it had that much feed in it, and I tested the handles by putting a 17 pound turkey (I am thawing one for the holidays) into the bag.  The handles 'handled' the weight without strain.

This is the back
 The bag is large, about 18" tall and 16" wide and the pleated sides will enable it to hold quite a few groceries.
