I've been completely out of it regarding my blog posts. Tonight, two different ladies I met through Freecycle.org mentioned they rarely read blogs but they read mine and I was embarrassed to realize how long it's been since my last one.
By the way, Freecycle.org is a great place to "find" great craft stuff, and to pass along some craft stuff that you no longer need. I've posted about them before as a source of charity crafting supplies, but this site is wonderful for many other reasons as well. Almost every major city has a chapter. You post what you have to give away; other folks post what they'd appreciate receiving.
Anyhow, between us, we talked about my can cozies and about one gal's "plarn" projects. Plarn stands for "plastic yarn." I've mentioned that, before, too, and included a site for some plarn patterns and free instructions. This gal is the first one I've known locally who has finished some projects with it. I really do have to start cutting and splicing my collection of grocery bags. I saved some bags, too, that were especially pretty, color-trim-wise. A family friend had to use those adult incontinence products and the bags are similar to those for tot's diapers. I've got a ton of those bags and I can picture what a tote, made from them, would look like.
There's an idea for some crocheters, too. Find an adult who uses those products constantly - I'm sure they'd love to see something a little more cheery result from those bags. Or, find a young mother who still needs the children's products and ask her to save them for you.
This is a bit of a mixed bag tonight. But that's all right. Most of our lives are mixed bags. When has anyone had a day that went from start to finish in meticulous order? Not me, that's for sure.
