I just accepted a teaching position in Colombia. Ok it’s actually the opposite direction than I thought I would be going but it’s going to be a great adventure. I can feel it!

I use canvas bags for shopping and biodegradable ones for garbage etc etc…I still end up with plastic bags floating into my life.
This tutorial is a great thing to do with these bags. I have three bags I made from old pastic bags that I take with me everywhere. I’ve made a changing mat for my friend’s baby, a make up case, lots of things. So if you have an iron and lots of old plastic bags (Think ziplocs and bags from produce as well!) this might be for you.

I broke down and got a tutor. I am so happy with my choice. She helps me point out some of the little mistakes that makes it difficult to understand me at times. Really it’s great. Which is good because I have an interview with a job in Paris in two weeks. egads!
