Cindy your blog is fantastic as are your wonderfully made bags! I have a real appreciation for the talent it takes to crochet with "plarn" as I tried it myself a few years ago. I have been crocheting for 35 years and I struggled to even get started crocheting with "plarn". My fingers hurt, my stitches were lopsided and my plarn was coming apart! This takes alot of talent. This is one of the most concise blogs I've ever seen. The instructions are thorough, clear and even illustrated. Very good job. Best of luck to you both in your creative and your "pink" journey.

1. Content(writing styles, etc.)

The content in this blog is nothing less then amazing. I can't remember seeing so many different items with carefully written instructions and pictures to help anyone who is crafty to create one of their own. There is everything from plastic bags, to old jean fabric, and the handy useful items they can be remade into. I visited a lot of pages and was happy to also find a product page that had some of the bags the author has made from plastic bags.. for sale! What a wonderful creative idea. Though I shouldn't be surprised that this blog lives up to it's name. :)

2. Colors (eye-catching, blends, etc.)

Even tho there are no bright colors used as backgrounds etc. The lighter color benefits the content, because it helps keep the focus on the photos of the items being discussed.

3. Fonts (Background contrasts, etc.)

The fonts used are easy to read, and are the perfect size to keep eye fatigue from happening, which of course... encourages more reading.. :)

4. Layouts (orderly, theme etc.)

The Layout/theme for this blog is very well done. It is neat, orderly and crisp and there is nothing that distracts from the main content on the blog. Very nice!

5. Navigational (working links. etc.)

All the links I clicked on seemed to be in great working order, and the pages are easy to navigate. Tho I am not sure if there is a comment section or not. But all blogs do not need to have one of those anyways... so it not really that important. The important stuff is the content and it has tons of that good stuff..

Cindy; I found heaven when I found your blog. I am a crafter and love to try new things, I am always busy making something when I have nothing else to do... Okay... I'll admit it... even when I should be doing something else I would rather work on my crafty stuff... You have a wonderful blog and I see it getting more and more traffic as more and more crafters find out about it. Nice Job! Great Ideas! Thank-you!

What a terrific site for green crafting! It is great to make something new out of the dreaded plastic grocery bag. I especially like the pattern for market bags. It is a great way to stop waste in its tracks. Good work, Cindy!

I really love this blog! I'm a crafter and a conservationist who loves foraging and making things from reusable stuff. I love your ideas and I promise not to steal any of them.. my blog is about some of the same things. But we greenies gotta hang together. Keep up the good work.

This is the very unusual and engaging site of an artistic blogger who just can't stop creating and sharing.

The layout is very attractive and easy to navigate. The posts are nicely illustrated.

In the blog you will find all kinds of bags in a multiplicity of styles and each and every one is made of recycled materials. Not only that, but the blog is a treasure trove full free ideas and patterns for creating recycled, eco-friendly crafts that range from dolls to rugs.

Great blog! My grandmother used to crochet round and oval rugs out of bread wrappers when I was little. She didn't even know she was "green". I guess you'd say she was "green" before it was cool. I loved your idea for purses and bags, I think I might just make one. My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was about 7yrs old.

never been to something of a blog being too original on a single minded theme with side steps of a battle of a blogger with a heart of a warrior ! golden , eh... well, this blog leaves no place to have itself quite unpredictable even if it is mostly single themed... the blog patterns out the posts with the totally new everytime with an originality which can just be called purest in its approach directed at the propect of teaching the available as well as bringing in the new concepts ! quite remarkable blog !

I love your blog. You've so many great ideas, I'm really impressed. I would never have thought of using plastic bags, tapes etc to crochet and make them into useful stuff.
Now I wish I knew how to crochet just so I could make some of my own.
Keep up the GREAT work!
