Monday::Mosaic|Where’s My Toes??, originally uploaded by simplyembellish.

As this pregnancy gets further along, I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve lost the ability to see my toes. In tribute to my lost toes, here’s a mosaic of cute toe pictures I’ve found via flickr.

1. Tote Bag- Reversible- Vintage Felicity

2. Button Bobbies - B and W

3. 4×6 Postcards - Recycled BoxCard Children - Pack of 8

4. Pillowcase Skirt - Reversible - Mulberry Morning

5. Belt Bracelet - Dauntless

Continuing on my post from Tuesday about repurposing old/used things, I came across this etsy seller, Re-Made.  They make old things, like cardboard boxes, leather belts and floral pillow cases and make them new again.  They make dresses, skirts and tote bags out of the pillow cases,  cute leather bracelets from the old belts, and fun postcards from used food cardboard boxes.   Everything they create was made from something else.  I love that they are reusing and recycling to bring new things into the world without using any more of our Earth’s resources.  yea for them!!

Beautiful! There is nothing like the smell of plumeria flowers… one of my favorite smells.

If your household is anything like mine, you probably have tons of old t-shirts in your drawers and closets. Half of them, I can’t even remember how or where I got them from, the rest are those “freebie” promotional shirts that business like to pass out. As I’ve started to get my house cleaned and organized for our new little addition, I’ve come to the realization that between my husband and I, we have way too many unused t-shirts. I’d hate to throw them out and I know our local thrift stores are overloaded with t-shirts, so I googled “how to re-purpose old t-shirts” and I was amazed at all of the wonderful projects out there. There are a few of my favs.

1. T-Shirt Skirt

2. T-Shirt Reusable Grocery Bag

3. T-Shirt Purse

4. T-Shirt Top

5. T-Shirt Little Girls Dress

I personally love the T-Shirt reusable grocery bags featured on MarthaStewart.com, and I think I’ll make me some of those… They look easy enough.
