Recycle your "Retired" Tee shirts!

Thus began my tangent.

I wanted to take my children to NY. But we were a one income family, SOooo, I decided to see if my rugs would sell in a Local Craft Store.

At night, after the kids were tucked in and the husband off to his night job, I sat on the bed and crocheted those recycled tee shirts into rugs. It took me only about 4-6 hours per rug, so I could finish one in 2 nights.

When I had about a dozen finished I hauled them down town with kids in tow.

All but a few smaller one were accepted on consignment!

I was so excited! This particular avenue did manage to sell some for me but their markup was dizzying! So I also did a couple of craft shows and that was terrificly successful.

I added the needed dollars to the Trip Fund.

I have figured out a way to easily cut the "retired" shirts into ONE CONTINUOUS STRING...
