I thought this was a cool idea for making pants from sweaters. It makes me wish I had sweaters to make these pants. Check it out here...Green Kitchen.

I came across this blog searching the web for random things and was pleasantly engrossed in her blog. Besides the lovley pictures she takes, her stories kept me interested in wanting to read more. The blog also has recipes that I definitely want to try out. The first one I want to try is the scone in the picture above. You can check out the blog here.

I found these Japanese craft books at a Japanese store that has a section that sells books new and used. The first picture is children's furniture made out of recycled milk cartons which they stuffed first with newspaper, then put together and held together with glue and tape. It seems that no sewing was done. Glue was used to attach the fabric to the cartons. A great way of getting rid of some junk.

Here are some pouches I finished and added to the shop.
I used some vintage fabric in two of the pouches.

I thought this idea is a great way on eliminating some waste from ending up in the trash. I have magazines that could definitely be used as mailers. You can find the tutorial on http://ecomonster.blogspot.com/2009/02/easy-how-to-make-envelopes-from.htmlECO MONSTER.

I hope I am not making anyone sick of looking at scallop things. My obsession with this is going to stop soon. ^_^ Just one more thing...I am making a clutch with scallops...I am mixing vintage fabric with some new. I will post pictures soon.

Coinpurses that I have been working on. I made more with more lively color scheme but no pictures as of yet. We have a fish bowl with a orange goldfish and this is where the idea kind of came about. The shape of the fish bowl led to the shape of coinpurse and the scallops representing water. I love scallops.

It has been quite hot lately with nice blue skies that I had to take my girls to the beach so that they could have fun cooling off in the water and playing in the sand. Sunscreen is a must!! We tried looking for sea shells but with no luck.

Here is a tote I made for myself. I used a vintage fabric that I found. It is a linen print...this was actually a hard fabric to work with for some weird reason. When I cut the fabric, it was a little off.

I found this table at the Goodwill store and it only cost me $30. I am planning on painting it but not sure on what colors and I think I want to change the handles.
Tates artwork is displayed above it. There is a picture of our bunny that she drew...a new addition to our family...my favorite.

I had the pleasure of meeting Leanne through Etsy. She designs fun and colorful textile prints. I absolutely love the print with the campers! I made her a tote using her lovely print. With the what little extra fabric I had left over, I made her a matching pouch to go with it. If you can guess, it's the middle part of the tote that has been cut out. You can check out her shop here
