Thanks nuisance.........that is SUPER CUTE...love how you 'dolled' it up. One can NEVER had too many bags I always say. I love making them too.

Now explain what this 'disc golfing' is.......maybe I could do that. Sold my other clubs and cart three years ago.

~You play Disc Golf as you would regular golf except instead of clubs, little balls and holes you use frisbees and baskets. Each basket has a 3-5 par and you just keep throwing your disc until you get it in the basket. The courses are usually free since most are in state owned park grounds.
I have no talent at sports. I throw like a girl. But this is a fun game! And my in my first game ever I got a par on a basket.
DH bought some beginner discs for me. You can use a regular Frisbee but it'll be hard to par. I use special disc golf discs(Innova brand). They're about $7-12 each.
You could start out in the sport with just two special discs, a driver(which is much thinner and harder than a frisbee so it flies further and faster) and a putt&approach disc.
It's hard to share the appeal of the sport because the whole thing seems dull. But once you're out on the course playing your first game you'll see why people get so addicted to it. It's incredibly relaxing and invigorating at the same time! And a great cheap date!~

I don't think we have such a thing here....but sounds like fun.

I love any sporty type thing, though I did quit golfing about 5 years ago, so will have to check it out more.

Thanks for posting that......learned something new!

Nuisance- Thanks for explaining the disc golfing. We have nothing like it around here. It sounds really fun, and like good exersize. I have no talent when it comes to sports, but I try. I think I could afford that kind of golfing.
As for the June sewing challange, I didn't get to it. I did however make some burp cloths, for up coming baby. Does this count? I help my niece sew an apron for her dad, and 8 pillows.
Happy sewing!!!!!!

Of course that counts!! Burp cloths are used everywhere and an apron for dad is always used to grill outdoors!!
