100% recycled garden containers

This was Rubber maid shed that the shelves just would not hold any weight anymore. So as my hubby was gonna make it go away he realized that it might just hold some of my veggies pots this year.

This is my amazing little green house my hubby made with a corner sliding door piece. It is raised so I can work in it easily and the back will be painted black to get more heat in it. This summer we will have the most amazing crops. :-)

Recycled T-shirt quilted maxi dress

 


This dress started because of a piece a small fabric a friend left me. Also at the same time my new serger arrived so I came up with this dress.
I was once told that you cannot quilt with t-shirts. or better yet recycled t-shirts. Well I think that is 100% wrong.
Since the strap fabric was little to thick tie behind my neck I grabbed my LARGE jar of buttons and things and found a magnetic clasp for the back instead.
The bottom needed something a little more so I ran a strip around the top of my ruffle, I love ruffles!!!!!

Recycled Denim creations

I found a box of denim jeans that I was saving for that just right project, and I had enough for a project. I took the box of denim and gave myself 1 week to do something. Well instead of one creation I made three :-) The first blanket was made with just strips sewn together and then the edges frayed. 

The center picture is of hot pads made from the seams of all the denim jeans I had. I hot glues them in to circles that are the perfect size and look more like art then a hot pad.

The 2nd blanket is my favorite and took the longest, but well worth the extra time. Each line of stitch is a different stitch that my sewing machine can do. I wanted to play with those most forgotten stitches. 

1 box of denim jeans and one week, I wonder what my next box will be full of :-)
