Green Crafting= something for me to do without spending money... except maybe on a bottle of wine :)

My life may once again flip upside down next week and everything will change... again. You would think a person would get used to this, but I never will. I keep hoping for the best and finally get a plan for the future and everything comes crashing down. I understand that this sounds so "poor me and my difficult life" but I really have no positive way of explaining how I feel especially since I don't feel all that positive at the moment.

So, until I know if life will come crashing down on me, again, I have to keep myself busy. Today I am doing laundry and I have plans to get our table cleared off so I have a place to work on things. Currently I am working on making some "plarn." Plarn is plastic bags cut up and tied together to make "yarn" that can be used to crochet into some market bags. Ro and I save almost all of our plastic bags from the grocery store and we have way too many right now. We reuse them for garbage bags for the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom, but we have accumulated way more than we could use in a year for garbage. I think I have enough right now that I will be able to use for 2 or 3 market bags. Eventually I would like to have enough market bags that I will only have to use the plastic bags at the grocery store when we need garbage bags.
I am also working on a scrap yarn project that will probably not be finished for a very long time, since it only uses scrap yarn and I haven't been buying yarn very often. I have ideas to speed up this project. Ro and I are going to the feria tomorrow and I think I will buy a few old sweaters made out of chunky yarn. I plan to unravel them so I have some extra yarn to use just for the project I am working on instead of waiting til I have enough scrap yarn to finish the project. I will try to post pictures of my projects as they are coming along. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
