I will certainly do my best. I just have to avoid stressful situations. That's what brought a sudden end to the last attempt on Wednesday

[MarMar]

Anyone around here for a chat? Haven't been all that active here lately. Too messed up and too much stuff going on.

Come to think of it, this thread has been a bit dead for a while

I'm around

It's a bit quirky to go to the store to recycle* soda bottles so that we can afford shampoo and conditioner. Grocery stores don't accept Mastercard. My VISA-debit has NOK37 left (US$6).

Another thing. I'm almost done with the second/new knitted bag. I won't be felting this time, but sew a lining and have it as a bag big enough for the iBook, unlike the one I felted earlier this week. I've only got the straps etc remaining, and so, I need something else to keep my fingers busy. Now, I know I used to make jewelery and stuff when I was younger, from glass beads from the local crafty-store and plain old safety needled on a piece of elastics. Yeah, I know, I know, really basic, but I was... 10 or something. Anyway, I know we still have the beads lying around somewhere. Questions is just, where? I've been going through heaps of junk and started sneezing over all the dust and I cannot find it. Sucks! Not only don't I have money for lining for the new bag, and now I don't have money for new beads, nor can I find the old ones. Oh, by the way, I was planning to sew them onto the felted bag's flap as a nice little details.

I haven't decided on a pattern, though, but whaddayasay? Flowers or skulls?

*Whenever you buy a soda bottle you pay NOK1.50/US$0.2 (for 0.5l bottles) or NOK2.50/US$0.4 (for 1.5l bottles) extra but get them back when you return the bottle to a store for recycling. More info on this here.

You can do that here to.

be diifferent and do Skulls.

[MarMar]

Different or just really stereotypical-gothy?

Anyone know how many countries have that recycling-thing? Does the US have it?

[~Lynd~]

Good point but flowers are a bit boring,IMO.Fragipani's could be nice though.

Not sure if the US has it but i think i've heard about it there.

[Jess]

I know the UK don't have it. It is a pretty good idea, though.

Go for skulls, Merc. But not the stereotypical goth ones. If there is such a thing.

[MarMar]

Contemplating doing something with a piece of wire I found lying around... Hmmm...

[allibaz91]

That would be really different and interesting, at any rate!

I've never heard of that recycling here either, Jess
