Recycle, be green and get great Items!

Mays' newsletter hit my inbox today from Doy bags.
If you don't know what Doy is then you are in for a treat!

They are a co-operative based in the Philippines and use recycled juice cartons and other items that would just be thrown away and turn them into desirable bags, belts, picture frames and more.

I initially found them after a bellydancing friend had a fantastic orange juice bag. I loved it so much i asked her where she got it and i then went online and bought my own bag in a different style but in red apple.

SO please check it out!

Yayness

YAY my first items have now been listed on Etsy!
Just a couple of things to start with though, the clothing and other stuff will be coming later on.
For some reason it takes me ages to list items, maybe because i'm not used to it yet.

Ready to list are:
Pale blue gingham bar apron
a set of zakka owls
2 pairs of mini kokeshi

I was always curious as to how body shape has changed over time and with a couple of vintage patterns in my hot little hands i spent some time typing up the charts so people could also compare.

List goes from modern sizing backwards:

I was about to upload the pictures to the owl making tutorial and i remembered that i had seen another tutorial on Moonstitches Blog.
Moonstitches has done a better job than i ever could, so check it out here:
