The classes I took were amazing :) First, the PVC wallet class with the amazingly talented Jodie from <a href="http://vintagericrac.blogspot.com/">Vintage Ric Rac</a> - she even gave me a few things to finish it off at home and here it is! Then I actually re-learnt how to knit and the knitting craft bar and made this coffee cup cozy. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vIGzJT9aOQo/SbxiSeCWbWI/AAAAAAAAAAo/vysysc6bIYs/s1600-h/Picture+024.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vIGzJT9aOQo/SbxiSeCWbWI/AAAAAAAAAAo/vysysc6bIYs/s200/Picture+024.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313229729830432098" border="0" /></a> Then I had the last class of the day with the fabulous Cathy from <a href="http://audreyandmaude.blogspot.com/">Audrey &amp; Maude</a> and made this bag.

To try to leave the earth a better place for my family to live. From today I'm going to be healthier, I'm going to live greener! I'm trying to re-use, reduce &amp; recycle. I'm going to try to mend and re-fashion clothes rather than buy them, make gifts for my friends and family and feed my op-shop and craft addictions! I'm going to post photos of my creations and my inspirations. Let's see how it goes!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/733910305976599185-7641474226329874493?l=aplaceinchelsea.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03979974046477688827noreply@blogger.com0
