today, i spent the better part of my day, in my sweltering loftice*~ putting the finishing touches on an article for an on-line magazine in the uk (i can't seem to leave well enough alone and now i'm thinking it needs a few illustrations) my eyes feel like small burning raisins, rattling in their sockets. i think i need air conditioning.
zapped of blogging energy, i leave you with this, reduce~reuse~recycle, idea from the very lovely erin loechner/design for mankind (who happens to be my home girl, she lives a mile from me) :learn all about how to use your plastic shopping bags,an iron, a sewing machine and a few simple tools
to create this:

*for those of you familiar with the garaffice**, i have upgraded to the loftice. a lovely loft area above what was the garaffice. the loftice is awaiting final touches and is wonderful save for the fact that it easily reaches 90 degrees on summer days.**garaffice-a garage turned interim office, inhabited by 'me' last winter. and blogged most courageously by 'me' here.

I know I do this (probably too much) a lot...but I'm now going to use 'my eyes feel like small burning raisins' just to emphasize some overworked moment I'm having. I'm all for hyperbole.
Oh, and yeah, bag fusing-great idea. Especially since we have all these wacky bags from Brussels that seem to multiply when no one's looking.
Shut up....THAT IS SO CUTE!!
what a fabulously fantastic idea! I'm going to surprise my mom and make one from all her favorite stops (ok, so I'm going to dream about making it as I don't have an ounce of time).
Truly a fabulous idea. This should be published in a magazine in the states, not just the UK. :)
Congratulations on the article - can wait of a peak of the offtice. We sadly bid the garoftice adieu.
That's interesting... talk about recyling bags!
I'm totally going to try this. By the way, I blogged about you yesterday. Hope that's ok.
oh gosh, please use my hyperboles with great abandon. it's only to make everyone around you REALIZE how productive you are.
mrs. b~i know you of all people appreciate the pain of the garoffice. so, thank you for your support.
please send me any finished shots of this summer project. it's such a great idea. i can only sit on the sidelines wishing i was so productive.
HA, you are soooooo cute, Megs. Let's have a beach date soon, yes? :)
This is a great idea. Thanks!
I have made a TON of these bags and love them all! They are fun to personalize. I didn't do the plastic handle action - wasn't strong enough so I used wide twill tape and grosgrain ribbons. Really great bags - I love them!
