Crochet News: Another Great Crochet Caddy Idea

The Home Depot is one of my favorite places to browse around, get inspired, find cool stuff, and spend money, all for the good of our home, and me of course.

While wandering around the huge hardware store (if you can really call it that) I saw a tool bag that looked like it might be something I could use.  I'm always attracted to things that make my life easier, keep things neater, and maybe even help me stay organized. 

This tool bag has many pockets inside and out and nestles inside a five gallon paint bucket (empty of course!), giving it a sturdy handle and good, strong form.  Check it out.  It happened to be on sale so I really had no reason to pass on this purchase.  Naturally I had to buy a brand new clean five gallon bucket to use with the tool bag.  Here's the result:

In this caddy I have plenty of room for my crochet hooks, scissors, (several pairs), tatting shuttles, pencils and pens, etc.  Inside I can store the project AND all the yarn required for it, the pattern book, and anything else that can't find a pocket on the outside.
The other side of the tool bag has pockets that are a bit wider, useful for many things such as project index cards, a packet of yarn needles, and so on.

I did not spray this one with Scotchgard Fabric Protector yet but plan to.  (Yea, I've got a horny boy dog who loves to mark his territory.  Until it gets sprayed by Scotchgard I have to keep it up off the floor so it doesn't get sprayed by my little chihuahua boy.)

I don't remember the exact price of the tool bag, it was on sale for approximately $7 and the bucket was regular price at $5

If you have any questions or ideas please comment below, thank you.

Signing off to find that can of Scotchgard I absentmindedly plopped somewhere in the house.  or garage. or yard. or car. oh crap.  It's here somewhere.

Note: Yarn in the bucket is Red Heart Super Saver worsted weight, color Real Teal
