I am so amazed by this!

And I think that I'm a little late to know about it- but I love it! I love the idea of a community of people coming together to crochet a coral reef to promote awareness of the destruction of global warming. I guess that it is possible to become involved with this giant community project.
Look here for more information:

Refashioned Pants = Yoga Mat Bags!
About a year ago I said that I would make a yoga mat bag. A home-made tube shaped bag with an easy to carry strap to hold it to the body. I thought for a while that I would crochet the bag. Hmmmm.... I thought. Yessss.... I will crochet it with pretty colors. And then I thought about how easy it would be to sew a bag. Well, all of these things take motivation and I am a procrastinator. Although I am a procrastinator that gets so many things done while putting off one simple task; one as simple as sewing a tube with a strap. And then, the other day, the yoga bag motivation kicked in and I started looking through my fabric and found a pair of torn red pants. I looked at the pants... Aha! Pants have legs and legs are tubes and voila, yoga mat bag! Now I just need to motivate to sew those buttons on.
