Honey Apron

Here is the latest in my apron designs.  I'm calling this one the honey apron, cos it's yellow, and some of the fabric actually has bees on it (and isn't the girl in this picture a little honey herself?!).

This was part of the Eco-friendly aprons I made for Christmas, but my daughter, being the diva that she is, saw one of the aprons I downloaded from the Internet and liked that one.  Of course, I didn't have pieces of yellow large enough for the ruffles so I had to buy some.

The apron I based my design on is to the left and mine, complete with pearls on the pocket, is on the right.  The bottom portion of the Honey apron is recycled fabric.

Repurposed Ice Cream Container

I finished the last of the ice cream that my bestie had brought over for my birthday, and just as I was ready to toss the container into the recycle bin, I realized that it is perfect to mix grout in and toss away when finished.

Usually I buy a bucket from the 99 cents store, because cleaning up the grout container is a pain in the butt.  You can't wash it down the drain, and since I live in a condo in the city, cleaning outside is not much easier.

Now, next time I grout, I have a container that I won't feel bad about throwing away!  And, even better, I have a nice deep container to break up my glass mosaic pieces into!

What other "throw-away" items have you repurposed?
