all recycled bags, purses, & totes!!

so here you have it....my recycling fabric mania! i'm having a lot of fun making these bags and feeling good about it too. the main part of the bag is made up of placemats or rugs i find at thrift stores and the straps are belts or silk neckties i also collect from various thrift stores here in town. another bonus from being eco-friendly is that they are washable....i don't know about you but my lip gloss (that i'm addicted to) has a hard time keeping it's lid on and gets all over everything! they are made to last too....my step-daughter (just graduated from high school) has been schlepping hers around town for a month now and it's still in one piece! and she's got everything in there...including a tire pump for her bike!

boy does time fly or what??!!

i can't believe two months have past since i last wrote! i don't know about you but i've been busy, busy, busy! when i'm not in my magical room of creativity; i'm juggling my pet care business BOISE PET CARE, volunteering at the idaho humane society clinic, and fostering dogs/cats for the IHS as well. AND, i've got 3 dogs/2 cats of my own that demand a certain amount of attention.






plus a girls gotta have a social life! geez louise! anywhoo....i've also been taking some sewing classes and in the next couple of days i'll be posting some of my projects that i am turning into a fabric line of recycled pheartsb! very usable creations.

this one is my recycled necktie fabric pouch - big enough for credit/business cards, id, money, etc...
