Happy 4th of July ~ Plus A Little Re-Purposing

I hope you are all having 

a wonderful 4th of July.

 ***********

Some of you may remember the two twin beds that I purchased 
at a yard sale a while back.  
I made a bench with one that I have on my back porch .  
This is the other one.  
I needed a little more seating on our little front porch.
So, last Wednesday I went into Steve's woodworking shop 
and was able to put this together without 
one single penny out of pocket.  
Steve had a lot of good sized pieces of wood in his scrap pile, 
and I had almost a full quart of exterior white paint.

***********

I used my Circut cutter to make 
a "Welcome" stencil.

The last time Steve and I went somewhere 
with our portable lawn-chairs, 
the cover to his got destroyed 
(we think with battery acid).  
Anyway I have been having a ball 
re-purposing from my bag of old jeans, 
and decided I could figure out 
a new carrier for my honey.  
I made him this from the leg 
of a pair of old bib overalls.   

I even used the shoulder strap to 

create a shoulder strap, LOL.
Still having a front and back pocket, 
provides a place for keys, change, or maybe a hanky.

This is what his old bag looked like.

While I had the sewing machine going 

and was in the mood to sew 

I came up with this clothes-pin bag. 

***********

And this market bag.

This pair had Cargo pockets 

with Velcro closers.

I was able to put a pocket on both sides. 

I hope that I am stirring up

your imagination, 

and that you think twice before 

throwing away another pair of old jeans.
