In these tough economic times, here is the challenge I put before you: Create something from nothings.
We all have our little scrap piles of yarn, papers, fabric, etc. What can you create out of some of your leftovers? Alternatively, if you have no scrap piles, what can you create out of supplies that you've said you'd use 'someday' but have sat in the corner of your closet for years?
Years ago my grandmother gave me her scraps from 30 years of knitting, which I intended to make into granny squares. It never really happened and I was thinking about throwing them out when it hit me. People who lived in the depression era wasted nothing. There are tons of small projects that I could make that could be of use to someone.
To see a few things I made from scraps: http://frostyshimmer.blogspot.com/2008/ ... hings.html (All 3 projects were made in the time it took to watch 1 movie)
