That sounds like such a cool place! Love the idea of helping them sort and getting “payment” in what you want from the bag. Reminds me of a group I’m involved in out here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Basically a gleaning group that works with local farmers for end of harvest picking. The farms get donation credit, the local food bank gets fresh, local produce, and pickers like me, get to keep up to 50% of what we pick ourselves. A win-win-win. Plus, it’s putting to use stuff that would otherwise just rot in the field. Much the same as Swanson’s is doing with craft items that would have otherwise ended up in landfills.
I have been known to make jeans purses. I use belts. I like the ones with the D rings so i can easily make them into a strap. And they are still nice after a lot of use. All i use for thise bags are thrifted❤❤❤
I've used belts, but the method involves hammering rivets because my sewing machine isn't strong enough to punch through and that ends up really annoying my cats.
The "baby girl, don't eat that!" absolutely sent me! 😹My Briar is an Eater of Things and I am not so calm with him because he gets... *intent* on his plans. XD He's entirely the reason I don't put Christmas decs up because of it. 😹😹😹
First Civilizations: 4 part series that looks at 4 early civilizations through the lens of War, Religion, Cities and Trade. Found on Prime. Stories of the Stone Age: 3 part series that looks at the development of agriculture and cities in the fertile crescent and it's spread through Europe. I used to watch it on Amazon but it's got some topless scenes and I can't find it anywhere now which is deeply annoying. Wildest Islands, Wildest Latin America, Wildest Middle East, Wildest IndoChina, Wildest India: Lots of series that focus on different ecological niches in different parts of the world. Found on Prime. Pretty much anything narrated by Sir David Attenborough. On TH-cam: PBS Eons, Extra History, NOVA PBS Official, Casual Geographic, Fall of Civilizations (also a podcast, really well done), Miniminuteman.

It's $9.00 around here. So my cousin ordered me some threads on line and her friend found some threads at a auction. So blessed for both sets . I'm looking for a hard bottom floor sized weaving loom. For rugs and sheets.
It's great fun watching how excited you are. You're spreading cheer! I would guess that Penelope can't discern the difference between excitement and agitation. Re: coned weaving yarn. A lot of weaving yarn benefits from a wet finish. This is really true of Harrisville yarns, for example. Once you do a wet finish (e.g., soaking and and very gentle swishing with some wool-safe cleansing agent like Eucalan, then maybe soaked with a bit of conditioner, then dried flat), the woven piece is often much softer. This requires more time than the way you steam your weaving but you might want to make a small sample piece using the brown coned wool as the weft, then see what it's like after a dunking. It might surprise you in a very good way! p.s., you might be able put longer dowels in those heddles you got so they will work on your loom!
@@HawksongWeaving p.s. no big water temperature changes -- lukewarm water and minimal agitation. Then put the item on towels and gently squeeze out moisture. Then dry flat. Happy to see you on Bluesky!
so happy for you, thx for sharing your treasures with us !

I am loving your energy today. Your happy stims make me do happy stims.
It was a really good day. And full of wins that I really needed. I'm glad I could inspire happy stims!
I love a good thrift craft haul! The nearest secondhand craft store is about 2 hours away, which is probably best for my wallet and storage space XD
I love seeing you so excited! I wish we had a store like Swanson's here in the PNW.

Swanson's is the BEST 🥰
Wow - such a fabulous haul! I just bought a 20" loom and extra heddles are $42 each, so you hit the jackpot with those heddle finds!!!
did she ever!

@@HawksongWeaving Love PBS Eons! Was going to ask you about that.
Oh yeah, someone else who is fascinated by human prehistory and evolutionary psychology! I would love to hear your documentary recommendations.

So happy to run across your channel. I'm a disabled crafter and artist. I have a huge stash of vintage fabrics, notions and yarn!
I'm so happy you found me!
Documentary recommendations please! 😊

From the packaging to the details of the bags, I think the kislux shop has made reproduction an art form.
