Hi!
My name is Sharon and I'm addicted to textiles. I truely enjoy crocheting and quilting. I work at a hotel on the night shift, so I usually have a little bit of time to crochet every night. I also crochet when sitting in waiting rooms of doctor offices. Currently I am on a bag kick. I have been making these little grocery bags. They are the perfect size when you are
running into the store for just a few things. They also make good tote bags for the 8 - 12 crowd.
