Dot's Recycling - Beautiful, Useful, Handmade, and Recycled!
I grew up with my dad's thrifty philosophy of "this'll come in handy some day" so small wonder that I started to craft items out of recycled goods. Here are a few snapshots of things I'm working on. ..

Here's a gallery of items made of PLARN -- that is recycled plastic bags used as yarn, crocheted and knitted into beautiful, useful items. You might recognize the brown of everyday grocery bags, or the white and red of Target shopping bags. The heavier and more colorful baskets are made from my secret ingredient: the large plastic totes that single serving potato chip bags come in!
