It's almost Labor Day, so this is my end of summer summing up! I've had a very productive summer. I've completed quite a few repurposing projects this summer. This bread bag tote is my favorite and simplest project! It is sooo cute! I crocheted strips of bread bags in a single crochet stitch around and around and around. It was fun and easy! It didn't take long to save up enough bread bags ( I lost count how many I used). I used a few celery bags and a plastic potato bag too! I liked this project better than my grocery bag rug. It is lighter and more colorful.This is something I'll make a few more of. I think it will be durable. I planned to use this as a shopping bag, but I am so pleased with how it turned out, I might use it as a purse! It will be easy to wash, just dip it in soapy water and set it in the sun to dry. My grocery bag rug is pretty durable as well. I must honestly say how surpri
sed I am at how well it is holding up. I use it in the kitchen and it gets a lot of traffic. 
I finished my Grandmother's chair makeover. My mom recovered this chair in the early eighties. I don't remember what it looked like originally. But I think my makeover gives it a bright fun look for today! Refreshed and not so grandmotherly!
Here are the two aluminum chaise lounge chairs that I got at public auctions. I got both chairs extremely cheap at two different sales. I used upholstery fabric that I already had. The most expensive part of the project was the foam. My husband and I are enjoying lounging and napping on these vintage chairs and I'm sure we will enjoy them many more years! I have many more projects in different phases of completion and the coming of fall always makes me feel like starting new projects. I guess it's the going back to school in the fall thing! There are always new projects buzzing around in my head. And my notebook is filled with notes and sketches for new projects. Stay tuned!
