Crocheted Kitchen And Bath Scrubbies Using Recycled Potato Sacks!
Crocheting with recycled materials is something that I find oh so satisfying, and so you can well imagine that these crocheted kitchen and bath scrubbies made using recycled mesh potato sacks are one of my favorite little projects! With a bag full of potato sacks waiting to be used and a long bus ride to a friend's wedding at hand, this became a fun take-along crochet project, yippee!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Summer is a wonderful time to explore new avenues of creativity……crafting on the go, or perhaps sketching or painting watercolors…….or even knitting or crocheting or embroidering something if you have periods of time spent watching kids in the pool, or at the partk, or gathering with friends and family for some quality outdoor time.

Okay, really? Stalks of gladiolas for just 50 cents each, where is that? Well dear readers, you can certianly guess that I picked up a huge bunch for myself! These beautiful flowers that i once thouight only belonged in funeral parlors (no longer, love them now…..) were grown in the garden of this Mennonite family, who has a dried goods store and sells veggies and flowers from their garden. Truly charming and a lovely step back in time, in the town of Croghan, New York, in the southwestern foothills of the Adirondacks, and in the heart of dairy country. Ah yes, and right next store to the town of Lowville,…
