A daily dose of vicarious crafting
As I start into my second week working on this blog I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to order my finds and ideas as well as categorize my posts. I got to thinking that it might be nice to do weekly themes, to group things under. Since my first week of posts were all unintentionally about appliqué, it seems fitting I guess. I plan to keep the theme concepts pretty broad, ranging from common processes to similar finished products.
This week I’m going to focus on reusable grocery tote bags. I know it’s a super hot topic at the moment and I’m also aware that I’ve missed earth day… but the concept of only being earth friendly one day or week out of the year seems beyond silly to me. Currently I only use reusable shopping bags and have gotten to be pretty hardline about it. I’ve even made a deal with myself that if I forget to take them with me to the store, I can only buy what I can carry home without one. Since most of my shopping trips are done on foot or my bike, I make the point to remember my bags.
I’m getting off topic here… The point I wanted to make is all the bags I currently have are commerically produced, and not all that attractive. I’d love to add some of my own homemade ones in the mix, or at least I’d love to think about it. ;)
Got an idea for weekly theme? Feel free to leave me a comment.
I started this blog after I realized that I spend way more time looking at crafty things than making crafty things, a practice I’ve dubbed crafterbation. I wanted create an outlet to share all the great crafty things I find that I would love to make, if only I had the time and the motivation to actually complete them. When the mood strikes and I do actually make something, you can read about that here as well.

Well, there’s the currently/eternally popular cute-stuffed-things. There’s a plethora of that, but we’d all love to have your take on it. And there are so many ways to go that it’d be easy to find enough particularly neato things for a week of it (however many posts a week equals)
Embroidery theme?
Garden / vegetable theme?
All right, I’m sleepy and I’m beginning to stretch at the seams.
