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.
The final approach to the ocean from the forest trail, is on this man made staircase. The beauty of it is it was all One Tree trunk. The forest gnomes must have decided it was time to put in a proper decent to the waterfront and thump went this massive building material. LOL
Very cool to see, walk on and photograph.
Nature's Escalator.
Nature's Stairmaster.
An Old Western Maryland caboose is now part of a popular restaurant next to the Amtrak station in Staunton, VA.
Hubby and I made a recycling run to Centralia today. After unloading other recyclables, we were left with four stumps to unload onto this pile of yard waste. This pile will eventually be run through a shredder and then turned into compost.

This mirror was made from pieces of beveled cedar siding and other scraps of molding.
The Park Central Mall was constructed in 1957 as the first suburban shopping mall in Phoenix. 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.
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

This mirror frame was built up from random pieces of scrap molding, siding and whatever else I could find.
Something new I found at Costco last week. You get a 3 pack of large plastic bags for all your Costco goodies. Oh, $3.49 for a pack of 3. Now I just need to remember to take them into the store with me.
At Kudos, we made the first and only disposable diaper with a 100% cotton liner. Visit: mykudos.com/blogs/news/my-experience-with-reusable-cotton... to know my experiences with reusable cotton diapers and also get the best information about reusable cotton diapers.

I am enthralled over these little baskets made from greeting cards...I found this one at an antique store.
Various postcards made in May, in honor of "put a bird on it" month :^)
Reused calendar cover with acrylic; various book or magazine or (Audobon) calendar clippings.
These reusable part boxes have steel reinforced sides to eliminate wood flexing, and link-locks for easy access. Observation ports to expedite customs inspections, allow inspection agents to peek in and verify the parts for combustion turbines inside without opening the container.
