Whew, it's been a while I'm rusting at this posting stuff, hehe.
I've been cutting up strips of plastic department store bags, or better yet making plarn. My DD and her friends are providing the shopping bags, they love to shop.
Did you know that Forever21 has John 3:16 printed at the bottom of the bag? No.. I didn't know until I started cut them up. Or that Love Culture's bags have reinforced handles, yet Gap has string handle that gather, yep all new discoveries once you take scissors to plastic. These bags are also made of thicker plastic than the regular grocery bags, although awful to the environment, good for weaving plastic totes for shopping, beach and project bags.
Mom gets her final Chemo session tomorrow, she's happy it almost over and her head is starting to get some peach fuzzy all over.

Oh great news about your mom! Yipeee! As to the bags, There is only one shop that I go to that has plastic bags any more, (all have gone to paper), but they are so pretty I save them, repurpose into gift bags, or when I remember, just bring it back and tell 'em to fill it up again! Of course this is my favorite fabric store...:)
Your totes should be wonderful.
Great news about your mom! I have a deeper appreciation on that subject now! Enjoy the plastic bag weaving. It is great to use up and make something useful at the same time! Be sure and post your FO's!
Good news about your mom!! I have a friend at about the same stage, we are keeping our fingers crossed for her as well.
The bags I get if I take them are NEVER that colorful!
Wonderful news about your mom. Give her my wishes. Good thing you have someone in your family who likes to shop. I can't wait to see what you weave from them.
