how I spent the last ten minutes

Well if you thought I was weird before, I'm about to up it a notch. I just watched a video of someone wrapping presents for the last 10 minutes and enjoyed it so much I needed to blog about it right away.

Today is Earth Day and as a result many online businesses are giving discounts today. I thought I'd take a gander at some and what passed before my eyes was truly creative and mesmerizing. Jenn Playford of Furochic takes gift wrap and makes it green by offering cloth gift wrap and wonderfully creative tutorials on how to wrap. Pretty neat huh? Happy Earth Day!

fusing plastic bags

I think I might be the last to know, but I'll post this anyway since I love the idea for so many reasons.

Etsy Lab Archive: Fusing Plastic Bags Article gives you a complete tutorial in how to repurpose those nasty plastic bags from the drug store etc. Once you've fused together 7 layers or so you can actually sew with them and make all sorts of wonderful waterproof things. I'm already planning a bag like this for myself.
