I made some reusable grocery bags for a friend and decided to use a wife beater instead of a t-shirt. I decorated it with a cute little flower stamp.
We believe that as people living
in the United States it is our
responsibility to resist the injustices
done by our government,
in our names
Not in our name
will you wage endless war
there can be no more deaths
no more transfusions
of blood for oil
Not in our name
will you invade countries
bomb civilians, kill more children
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless
Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for
Not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families
on foreign soil
Not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us
Not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil
Not by our will
and Not in our name
We pledge resistance
We pledge alliance with those
who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war
or for their religion or ethnicity
We pledge to make common cause
with the people of the world
to bring about justice,
freedom and peace
Another world is possible
and we pledge to make it real.

I re-purposed one of my used Graze.com trays into a handy propagator for some herb seeds - oregano, thyme, chives and coriander.

This is an idea from the electronic workshop of my university: These circuits are from damaged stuff like a keyboard, a mouse, a cache memory (for a 386 processor!) and a part of a hard disk (?). They make really interesting keychains.
This is a pattern for a reusable crocheted grocery bag that I posted for free on my blog:

I need a new potting bench and this small table took my eye at a local antique fair.
It's already been painted and varnished and now all I have to do is to add some oil cloth on the top and put some preservative on the feet.
Much more satisfying than buying a purpose built bench
I am due to give a talk next week about sustainable gift wrapping.
This is one example
The bag is made from folded newspaper and the flower from magazine pages with an added fabric bobble
Everyone seems to be sorting out their studios.......and dumping the surplus on to me.
I seriously do not need any more supplies, so the answer was to use up what I had been given.
A bag of assorted small balls of wool are being transformed into gift bags...this is the first.
it measures about 12 inches by 8 inches and is made from part of a ball of chunky wool, and decorated with two donated handkerchiefs and scraps of fabric.
Very quick to do and very satisfying
Store brand reusable shopping bags upgraded with pockets that conveniently cover up the store logo. Pockets were made from pant legs from thrift store clothing.
DW's been using this swim diaper for all the times he's been swimming! It's great, the material is soft and it dries fast! More on this nappy at manilamommy.com

Maxime Ansiau found his inspiration in old stainless steel and chrome parts from bathrooms, kitchens and hospitals. He used what he needed for his mobile kitchens. Each piece is thus unique. His method is more based on reusing than recycling on a large scale.

If you want to make the favors and looking for something to do with recycled materials, you can consider the glass jars.

Came out beautiful, reclaimed wood top (built by us) and reused cast iron legs, from the sinks, from a 19-teens former unwed mothers and children's home in Buffalo NY. (a side note: Why was there no home for unwed fathers?...where were they in this situation?...perhaps the Erie County Jail? Maybe a laundry where they could work off their immorality like the ladies might have been apporpriate?)
In our shop at ReUse Action (Reuseaction.com) we fabricate slabs out of the barn beams and building materials we collect from salvage, deconstruction and demolition jobs.
In this project we re-sawed old growth, 3x8 barn joists from Bath NY. They are beautiful old growth southern yellow pine that was cut down in the 1870s-1880s and was hundreds of years old at that time. These trees probably predated the American Revolution. I count about 120 rings per 8 inches!
The slab was built and finished with satin, water-based polyurethane. Nail holes, checks and divots were filled to a high level of finish with West System, clear epoxy.One can see to the bottom of the holes.
The cast iron base was reclaimed from a bathroom of the former unwed mothers and children's house on Harvard Place in Buffalo. It was built in the 19-teens and these legs were ganged together and held up back to back cast iron sinks. We stripped them and repainted them with satin enamel and dry brushed them with pewter paint to highlight the graininess and the embossed letters and other interesting details from the casting.
The distance between the legs was shortened and the threaded rods were shortened and re-threaded to match the length of the table. Matching feet were made and added to the bottom of the legs and levelers were added. The old square head nuts and bolts were saved, cleaned and re-used to preserve the original look.
It is on display in our store and available for $950 in the store. We bases to make 2 more of these, to any length and custom widths and other wood tops. See reuseaction.com
The Park Central Mall was constructed in 1957 as the first suburban shopping mall in Phoenix. This was originally a Goldwater's Department Store which was one of the original anchors. The Associated Dry Goods Corporation purchased Goldwater's in 1963 and changed the nameplate to Robinson's (from Los Angeles) in 1983. After the mall started to founder in the late 1980s, the department stores started to close. Robinson's was the first of the department stores to close here at Park Central. The mall has been adaptively reused into office space for health care offices.
An Old Western Maryland caboose is now part of a popular restaurant next to the Amtrak station in Staunton, VA.
We held a creative reuse workshop sponsored by eBay and Make magazine where we showed people how to build their own BEAM vibebots.
I had a stack of Amy Butler fat quarters and decided to mix and match on this really cool reusable grocery bag. I love the way this grocery bag turned out. Thanks Amy for the beautiful fabrics!

This mirror frame was built up from random pieces of scrap molding, siding and whatever else I could find.
#3924 - 2018 Day 268: There's disposal and there's recycling and there's reuse. We've been saving a few of these plastic punnets in order to reuse them. Their durability makes them useful, which is a dilemma in the current political climate. It's not surprising how widespread their use has become. But durability is of course also the reason they should never be disposed of, other than by recycling. Better still, we've now stopped buying them.
