Fabric Bucket/Basket

I need a fabric bucket/basket.

I've been FLYing in my garden, front and back. What that means is 10m a day weeding. Some days front, some days back. And weeding only until I'm on top of it and then I can branch out. ... it could happen :D lol ok ok it WILL happen.

Point is that I use plastic grocery bags to hold the weeds. Then toss the weeds in the green waste and the bag into the recycle bag thing.

Problem is that since I'm being so good about using fabric bags for shopping or... the best tip ever... not using a bag at all from the store and then, because of course I've left the bags in the car, emptying the shopping cart directly into the bags that are in the car for easy transport into the house. Oh... the problem... that's right... we don't have nearly the bags we used to and I'd like to find a way to do away with the use of the plastic bags all together.

So I've see fabric buckets and now I need to make one.

Here are the links that I just found via google.

Pippijoe is the one I'm sure I was thinking of in my minds eye. Fabric Basket

Instructibles has one that is collapsible and has a handle. Collapsible Bucket

Ric-Rac has a smaller version Back with Buckets

Oh I just love the shape of this one pictured here at Remodelista.

It is from Lotta Jansdotter OMG! I am just drooling over her stuff.

I guess I need to finish cleaning up my sewing area so I can actually sew. ... hummmm blog, read, workout, clean to sew.... tough choices. Who knows what I'll chose.

Idea, annual interviews with your kids.

cnp from a post I made at SewingMamas

I was following a link from a link from a blog I read and this idea popped up.

New Years Interview for Kids on Blissfully Domestic
http://blissfullydomestic.com/blissful-kids/new-years-interview-for-kids/

Stuff like what their favorite XWZ is and some questions.

I love the idea and wish I had access to it when the kids were younger.

Book to read

Interesting that this book came up twice in my blog reading today.

I took the time to note the first source, Camp Creek Blog, but not the 2nd. Sorry.

The book is
Outliers: The Story of Success (Hardcover)
by Malcolm Gladwell (Author)

I'm heading over to ocpl.org to see if I can hold a copy right now.

Surfwise

Another, I should arrange to watch this.

The Ghost Mountain Experiment

While in Julian a week or so ago there was an ad. An ad for a movie. A movie Called The Ghost Mountain Experiment. A notation, "A film about the orginal hippi family."

www.ghostmountainmovie.com

I look forward to learning more about it.

Sand Castles

Another exciting thing worth trying.

Thank you to Unplug Your Kids for posting this tutorial for Hard - Permanent Sand Castles.

Ok, ok but there are times when this is just the perfect accent to something.

And as uncrafty as I can be, I think I can handle this one.
