Well, with the New Year 2009 here I started thinking...and looking around my house!
Wow- what I saw amazed me! There was so much plastic and paper laying around just waiting to be thrown away. So after looking around at all that our family was contributing to the mess of our earth - I did what I always do: search the web! I found out so many things about plastic (to my horror) and all the paper we waste (those poor trees)
Now... I can not go full force into the world of GREEN it would be financially impossible for our family but I can make small choices to change the world one plastic bag at a time!
So I started by getting some canvas shopping totes (and embroidering them) to take with me grocery shopping... as days went on- I swapped other things out: 100 % cotton cloth napkins, 100% cotton muslin hankies... I made dish rags and kitchen towels (to avoid buying paper) and started buying things without plastic. Which is not easy BTW! I also tried to go Organic... buying organic material, food, and other products. Also not an easy thing where I live. Thank the Lord for the internet!
I have had an online boutique for a while now, I do embroidery on a commercial machine but in my home-and I decided that I would change things around a bit! Not only in my home but in my business... This will be my blog to show my progress and help me keep my sanity...LOL
So...One plastic bag at a time-Here I go!
