So in a moment of boredom (while waiting for training today) I did some web surfing including hitting the only blog I follow (so far)... and ended up on the blog for the green bag lady http://greenbaglady.blogspot.com/ and found my inspiration. This woman (and her volunteers) make and give away fabric bags to reduce the number of plastic grocery bags being used. They have made over 18,000 fabric bags. So.... since I have been doing more sewing lately I made a green tote bag tonight. A Thanksgiving bag upcycled from an old table cloth. I've just been waiting for a good excuse to cut it up - guess I found it. Going to continue cutting it and making bags to give away - I think everyone will love them..
I also made 2 of the girls their own lunch box out of empty juice pouches.
And a Halloween costume or two... a cowgirl's vest, skirt and spats for her boots - AND a skirt for my favorite fairy.

Hi there. I saw your comment on my post about the snap happy bags. The little tags are my labels for my shop. Those are my old ones and are printed on fabric and are from Bella Mental on etsy. I don't think she lists them, but does them by request. I order from her for three years, but now I use a woven label from a place called World Wide Labels on etsy. They are more expensive, but have a more professional quality to them. I love having labels and think it makes all my work look more legit.
