I finished my beach bag! I totally love it. I hope that it won't stretch too much once it is filled with wet towels and beach toys, but only time will tell. I am sure I will get lots of use out of it at Coldwell this year. And it was a great way to get some use out of some t-shirts that I would never wear again.

It has a drawstring and handles, so it can be used in a couple of different ways. This is really the first thing I have ever crocheted, so it's even more exciting to have completed a project like this.

I have been getting much craftier recently and doing more than just making cards and scrapbooking. I have started reading www.craftster.org and there are sooooo many neat ideas and projects that I got inspired to use up some of my old t-shirts that I am never going to wear again.

This is the start of a beach bag that is being made with t-shirt "yarn".


Rosie had to come and check it out.

I also made a scarf/necklace out of t-shirt yarn. It's awesome!
