Baby Mat and Bundle Tote

I crocheted this baby mat for a friend's granddaughter, from strips of t-shirt fabric found at Trash for Teaching in Gardena (they're donated leftovers from factories, in this case from American Apparel). I added handles and ties, so that it can also be used to tote bundles, like laundry or beach towels. Completely washable, of course.

The girls are used to going for Pitfire Pizza after swap-o-rama-ramas at ReDiscover Center. So we still went to Pitfire, even though yesterday's event was at Crashspace (not so close by). I made the arm warmer at the swap.

Made for one of my daughter's friends, by request. I actually made two of them, so they can both have one. ;) Lots of random scrap acrylics and novelty yarns.
