You seem so important now, ;o) I like the little red cup bin, so cute and I am impressed by how thoughtful you are about your wastes.<br />Did you know though you can use natural fibres like cotton, linen, wool scraps in your compost as a carbon matter, they will break down faster this way rather than slowly in land fill. You can also use them as mulch. They might have been dyed with yukky chemical but if they are pretty old it shouldnt matter...so no need to bin em!! Small bits of steel (bottle cap lids, old needles) can be put inside empty tins and pushed closed and put in the recycling too...dash robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985007576083764068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-1448005357136810302010-06-04T23:54:02.276+10:002010-06-04T23:54:02.276+10:00The sraps and remnants are just so important too a...The sraps and remnants are just so important too aren't they?Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131518522010494497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-56419388793322160062010-06-04T18:01:57.228+10:002010-06-04T18:01:57.228+10:00What a lovely little glimpse into your world.

I too always wonder just how small a scrap I should keep. I have thought lately though that I should keep all the wee little un-useful scraps to stuff little pins cusions with.

I often give Eloise a wool needle with wool thread on it and she sits happily at my scrap bin threading all the pieces on while I sew. I have also used my tiny scraps to stuff draught excluders as they are nice and heavy.Cotton Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972394622397549610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-19355019350588558462010-06-03T14:35:20.885+10:002010-06-03T14:35:20.885+10:00Love it Kate.
