Wednesday the 7th and Thursday the 8th 2011

Didn't blog yesterday. Yesterday was garden day, but I was super busy. We have Okra, and LOTS of weeds. We need to weed. BADLY...Hope to get to it this weekend, but with the smoke we won't be to, it is really to breath out there, feels like the air is like 600 times denser than it should be, I guess it is... Sucks. Got some pictures the other night, that was nice. We are going to the Pride Parade this weekend, hopefully that won't be to bad. It is worse at night. We are having some kids over, Cara's friends mostly, maybe, they will go to the parade with us, and then back to the house to hang out and have fire time that night, and maybe sleep over in the tent. No outside activities if things don't clear up with the fire, and that doesn't look good : (

So, today is Re purpose or die day. Just read a blog about reducing ( to a level that I don't think I can handle... ) But I did take away something from it. My new goal is to use up all of the craft items that I have in my sewing suite ( AKA Garage ) by the end of the year. Items will either be used, earmarked for use, or in use by New Years Eve.

So, that is where I am. A friend of mine turned me on to easy to make reusable shopping bags. Think that I will try those out soon. I have lots of smaller pieces, almost not any good for anything, but like Gramma Miller's "crazy quilt" I bet I could make the panels out of  the same "Crazy" idea!

Lots of little make up purse type things too. Maybe some more of the banner/flag/wall hangings that Diane turned me on to? I made a flag for Pride! I need to mount it on a pole, and maybe make little craft cards that I can hand out when ( if ) people ask me where they can get one... ;)  Wouldn't hurt to make some money off of this kick... So I can get more stuff, lol!

Maybe Ill have stuff to enter into the craft fair? Or lots of Yule gifts to give away this year!

Anyhow, that is what I have up my sleeve today!

All of my best creations are by accident. I accidentally found that blog, from a post on Face Book... Accidents are not really accidents, are they now?

OOOOhhhhh, fabric covered photo mattes?
