Living Green!

Today I am trying to do my part to reduce my carbon footprint by creating reusable snack and sandwich bags and new grocery totes. The sandwich bags are the size of a standard plastic baggie, the snack bags are slightly smaller, and the tote bags are the same size as the reusable totes you can buy from Wal-Mart or the grocery store.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

It's been a long time since I've blogged. My life has been, let's just say, not my own. Have you ever felt like you were being pulled in so many directions that you were going to burst into pieces? That's what I've been feeling like and now, suddenly the craziness in my life has come to a screeching halt! Suddenly, I have nothing to do and nowhere to be.

I haven't done a lot of hand embroidery in the past, but I am enjoying it. I think they are cute! J I also made this DVD tin photo album, A LOT of fun…I will definitely be making more of these!!! AND then there is this little black and white tote. Normally, I would sew my tote first, and then box the sides. I had the bright idea of cutting the squares out of each corner first, to make it easier to line up my seams, but I neglected to measure properly and ended up with a perfectly square bottom bag. Ugh! So, I took it apart and cut down the sides and the bottom, resulting in a MUCH smaller tote. There are four pockets on the outside of the tote, one in the front and back and one on each side. The side pockets were perfect for cell phone, iPod, etc., but because I had to cut the tote down, they are
