We went to the Farmer's Market last weekend. I stocked up on fresh green beans, new potatoes, green tomatoes, purple hull peas, and yellow squash. Then, Saturday night, we combined all those goodies with okra and ripe tomatoes out of our garden into an all-vegetable (plus homemade mac & cheese) dinner. Yum!
While we were downtown (our Farmer's Market is in the River Market district of downtown Little Rock), I saw the coolest bags in one of the art galleries. They were loosely crocheted from cut strips of Wal-Mart bags. Talk about the need to go green—I've certainly got more white plastic bags than I know what to do with, so I guess I'd better get busy. Crochet up the bags I've got now and use my fabulous crocheted bags for trips to the store, so I don't bring home as many new bags.
In my continued search for a purpose for my plastic bags, I've also been eyeing the Bag Rug crochet patterns at the leisureartslibrary.com. They got some great round, rectangular, and heart-shaped designs that I'd like to experiment with. The girl children would like the heart, and I think a rectangle would work nicely in front of my kitchen sink. (And when they get grubby, you take them out in the yard and hose them off!)
