craftgrrl | Need Ideas-Recycling/Sustainability (Reply)

Hi everyone,

I've been invited to partake in my company's holiday craft show once again, I was in it last year on a last minute whim to get rid of some excess ukrainian eggs. This year, I just don't want to offer dust catchers or knick knacks again, I'd like to offer something someone will USE. This is a show open to just employees to shop for gifts.

If you checked out the link you'll see that my company's all about sustainability and eco-friendly everything. So I'm thinking I'd like to play along that line for success.

I'm thinking crocheted mesh shopping bags, crocheted recycled plastic bag bags, crocheted dishcloths, fabric bags etc. I'm even considering doll quilts out of recycled clothing and aluminum can ashtrays (heh, yes there are smokers there). But I know there are patterns out there for using plastic mesh onion bags for shower scrubbies and pot scrubbers. Anyone know where I might find this pattern? And of course any other ideas are totally welcome, thanks!
