Bay Area crafty PSA

i went by the Depot for Creative Reuse this afternoon with [livejournal.com profile] pumapreysize. meant to stop by and rifle through their fabric-pile quickly before going on to other fabric-shops...but:

the Depot has many boxes of tie silk swatches (maybe 6" x 12", or a little larger) for sale, cheap. (i got a 12"x12"x18" box mostly-full for $20.) they're being picked through pretty rapidly, but there's some neat stuff there.

...[livejournal.com profile] simplykimberly, [livejournal.com profile] snowninja7 -- could i maybe come hang out & use your sewing machine/serger sometime soon? ya see, i've got all this tie silk...

Yup; just about whenever. Drop me an email and we'll coordinate.

Absolutely! I even know where the power cord is for the serger! ;) I'm cleaning up my office tomorrow, though, in preparation for my brother-in-law arriving, um, tomorrow! So there's a good likelihood that I'll have the sewing machine power cord, too :)

While driving around a certain part of atlanta in search of a free, advertiser-supported restaurant that serves only fresh bread, iced tea, and a trough full of butter and, as it turns out, doesn't exist, I stumbled upon a creative reuse place down here. I was fairly certain there was one (or more) somewhere around here, and now I've seen it.
