    I got a second package of rainbow webbing for use somewhere else (gotta think, gotta think).

    My straps need a proper sack. That is the next project on my list!!! I need to get some more bright and fab colored nylon. Maybe a patchwork style zip bag. Hahaha

    My grandma would just love to hear you say that. She was so patient with me for so many years. This would make her so happy.
