Needlecrafts From Connie Barwick, your About Needlecrafts Editor Here are some super easy projects for you this week - try something new! Sew Your Own Strong Durable Log Carrier Bag for Firewood This firewood carrier has ends to keep everything in the bag, no matter how far you carry it. The bag ends allow you to carry small kindling and pieces of bark without dropping them on the way to the house. Nobody likes making the trip twice when there is snow on the ground.

It makes bobble-like puffs on the fabric, giving it a lot of texture and making the fabric nice and warm. This pint-sized Trinity Stitch Prayer Shawl is great for a christening or simply as a new baby gift to show the child's parents you're thinking of them. The exact same project, striped or not, can also be made in larger sizes for bigger people if you'd prefer.
