----Quilted Rag Bag----HANDMADE RAG BAG PURSES ---Rag Crochet Evening Bag, by Andrea Carew ---rag rugs too-----
Rag crochet has been widely practiced in the mountains of Appalachia for many years, because all the bits and pieces of worn fabrics were too precious to waste. Just as early quilters valued every little scrap of fabric, so, too, the mountain women crocheted their own type of patchwork with long strips of fabric, cut from garments or household items. As the strips were cut fairly wide, the crochet had to be done with a large hook. These were not commercially available until recent years, so the menfolk—husbands, brothers, perhaps even suitors—carefully carved primitive hooks from local woods. These charming tokens, usually well worn from hours of use, can often be found at flea markets and antique shops. ----placemats made from rags------

Why not use some of those empty glass jars to make mini terrariums for your friends?
Terrariums.... PET bottles provide an ideal opportunity for children to study animal or plant
life in a terrarium situation. Terrariums may be made by either cutting off the bottom of a bottle and using the top part with the cap on or off-or, cutting off the top at the shoulder and inverting the bottom. In both cases the bottle is placed over soil in a plant pot to make the terrarium.

John Steinbeck .......A key aspect of my creative process seems to walking around whatever I am working on and staring at it. Sometimes is a passing, momentary glace as I am moving about from one place to another and I consider the current state of thing. More often, I am deciding what to work on and I move from piece to piece or project to project and take it in, waiting for some impulse to act. And there are times when I will just mill about and stare. Two things are going on.
I am trying to acclimate myself to working creatively and I am working things out in my mind.

In eastern European countries, brides often wore heavily fringed aprons until the late 1800’s. Archeologists
have found evidence that this custom may have originated in prehistoric times, with string skirts and fringed belts. I found an old apron
(probably from the 1950s) at a garage sale, and embellished it with some of the items used to decorate European fringed aprons: coins,
shells and beads. As ancient crafts workers used the elements available to them, I added in domestic elements found today: cooking tools,
buttons and zippers. The top of the apron has photo transfers of ancient apron images.
