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.

Trying new things!

I am still not feeling great, but I did manage to make a few things yesterday. I thought I would try a little more embroidery work, so I made a couple of small zip bags. 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...

So It's a blog..right?

It looks like a blog and works like a blog, but it isn't exactly what I wanted. I spent most of yesterday creating this blog, with the help of my daughter, Sydney. I would like to do a lot more with it and I will, but I'm still in the learning phase. I have been surfing the web looking for information about how to create backgrounds, how to use different fonts, etc. I am not even sure exactly what I want, much less how to achieve it. Ha! I feel like I'm on information overload. OK, so with determination and a lot of patience I will achieve my goal and create a great page. Wish me luck, and send any suggestions my way. I could use a lot of help!
