If you have someone who has inspired you, I would love to hear about it. Post your thoughts to the comments section and I may write about those comments later.<\/p>\n<p>I come from a long line of needlewomen, some of whom I have written about before. One of my great grandmothers would crochet bread bags into little rugs. These rugs were pretty sturdy and we could wipe our feet on them when we came in from outdoors. They just got hosed off when became too dirty.<\/p>\n<p>My mom tried the technique with plastic grocery bags and they worked ok, but weren&#8217;t as sturdy. Still it is a good recycling tip, don&#8217;t you think? <\/div>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"margin: 12px 0px; font-family: arial; color: #333333; background: #ffffff; border: solid 4px #e5e5e5; width: 100%; clear: left;\">\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"CM_CTB_Content_Wrap\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;background-color: #ffffff;\">\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http:\/\/clipmarks.com\/images\/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;\">\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><a href=\"http:\/\/clipmarks.com\/clip-to-blog\/\" title=\"clipmarks' clip-to-blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/content.clipmarks.com\/blog_icon\/78bdd2cf-fdb8-413f-b8b2-7e52af740479\/487ED4EE-3FDA-4DDF-A793-F11B5C808948\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"19\" height=\"19\" border=\"0\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;\" \/><\/a>clipped from <a title=\"http:\/\/laumesstudio.blogspot.com\/2009\/07\/just-quickie-pop-on-over-to-amazing.html\" href=\"http:\/\/laumesstudio.blogspot.com\/2009\/07\/just-quickie-pop-on-over-to-amazing.html\" style=\"font-size: 11px;\">laumesstudio.blogspot.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;\">\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><!-- CLIPPED FROM: http:\/\/laumesstudio.blogspot.com\/2009\/07\/just-quickie-pop-on-over-to-amazing.html --><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/content6.clipmarks.com\/blog_cache\/laumesstudio.blogspot.com\/img\/C2284F6B-7657-43A7-82D9-2FE8CD0BB0B6\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;\"><\/div>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;\">\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><!-- CLIPPED FROM: http:\/\/laumesstudio.blogspot.com\/2009\/07\/just-quickie-pop-on-over-to-amazing.html -->Actually, that&#8217;s a good post theme &#8211; who inspires you?  In your art or in your life?  Pick one (or more) people who have made a difference in your world and let them know.  It doesn&#8217;t have to be a big thing, just drop them an e-mail or give them a call, mention it the next time you see them face-to-face.  It will make their day, maybe even their week, I promise you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;\">\n<table style=\"font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" style=\"background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px\" width=\"107\"><a href=\"http:\/\/clipmarks.com\/share\/487ED4EE-3FDA-4DDF-A793-F11B5C808948\/blog\/\" title=\"blog or email this clip\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/content9.clipmarks.com\/images\/c2b-foot.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog it\" width=\"107\" height=\"17\" style=\"border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laume has a nice piece of art posted on her blog, whose source is actually the El Milagro Studios: Little Miracles of Art blog (http:\/\/elmilagrostudio.blogspot.com\/2009\/07\/200th-post-and-giveaway.html).
