The pile of re-usables is always fun to sort through and put away!<br /><br />Also, Julian, you could cut up those t-shirts and use them as rags! When I have something nasty to clean up (from the dog or whatever) I use one of those rags and I don't feel bad throwing it away and I didn't have to use a paper towel :)Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942708135461787133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-91298075667641987242013-07-18T10:21:46.081-04:002013-07-18T10:21:46.081-04:00So resourceful!

I've often thought of you with holey t shirts my boys outgrow, thinking someone could turn this into something useful. It drives me batty to throw it away but alas, the sewing talent is not to be had. I liked the old roller shade slats idea. Im always surprised and inspired by what your creative mind comes up with here!:)<br />ChristinaJulianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476350545165811489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-26754390712678414072013-07-18T08:25:08.078-04:002013-07-18T08:25:08.078-04:00oops, should have been "cut down"oops, should have been "cut down"Rozy Lasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019413665136390175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-68968757545468425172013-07-18T08:23:36.651-04:002013-07-18T08:23:36.651-04:00One interesting thing I scavenged are the wooden s...One interesting thing I scavenged are the wooden slats out of (very) old roller shades. I figured they could be could down and used as stakes in the garden, when I actually get my garden going, still working on that. I enjoy hearing about other's scavenging efforts.
