Junk in my Trunk

Day 8
5 hrs

Yesterday someone asked me where my trash-obsession originated. Well, Susan Wasinger's book "Eco Craft" is addicting. She is a mastermind and her book is full of amazing up-cycling projects. She gave me the idea of ironing plastic six-pack rings and plastic bags, which I did today! I made a nice white lampshade of two "Thank You!" bags from Hannaford's. It looks beautiful against a light––almost like rice paper.

I added the final coat of shininess to my chair... I can almost see my reflection! (Not really.) I also sewed up the black coffee-bag clutch. Tomorrow I'll add the "button."

My lovely friend Adam Silverstein also helped with my helium-tank chair. It's finally cut open! It is small, it is definitely a children's seat, but I think it'll be nice.

I also spent some time with my dress. I stapled the milk jug petals together and found that they stuck out too much and created a bubble effect. I'll find a solution soon. I also need to figure out the attachment of all the parts.

Now I have projects compiling in my Volvo. The poor fourteen-year old might break under the weight.
