Freecycle in your community

As I was writing about my pop tab flowers, It hit me that not many people probably know about freecycle. Freecycle is a national thing. If you go to http://www.freecycle.org/ you can look and see if there one in your area. If there isn’t don’t despair, you can start one. It is a yahoo group and very easy to manage. I have a yahoo group called the sell-n-trade and so far have had no problems. Good luck and keep things out of the land fill by giving them a new home or re-purposing them.

Great shoulder bag from t-shirts


I Made this shoulder bag from 4 different t-shirts. I cut them into one long strip and crocheted them. I think that it turned out very well and these were t-shirts that were ready for the garbage. I will definitely make some of these as gifts. It did not take long to make at all. I think one of these would be really cool with some bright colored t-shirts.
