This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Grommet Setting
Day 125: Here comes the part I dread. I nearly always mangle at least one grommet by driving it unevenly, although I have learned that a gentle tap-tap-tap to start the process helps prepare the metal for the final harder raps. There are eight grommets to set in each sheeping bag, the lined bag being 22" in circumference (i.e., 8" in diameter). These will be fitted with a single drawstring like an old-fashioned seabag, and at 16" deep would be more than adequate for a water bottle and a box lunch. There are lots of other uses for sheeping bags as well: to hide your jammies from company, for carrying a spare pair of shoes or your afternoon reading material, even as a receptacle for all those plastic bags you've collected at the grocery store. Will you be one of the lucky people who gets a sheeping bag for Christmas this year? Be good!
