Some people have crafty squares or hexagons or recipes using delicious materials. I have that dwindling - thank heavens - stash of crocheted squares.

Do you remember the Mug Shrug?? (See above) Well, I've redesigned it. Forget the pesky buttons. Here is the New! Improved! Mug Shrug! (patent pending or whatever).
Yes! Now, all you have to do is slip the Mug Shrug over your mug, slide the handle through the opening and fold back the top for an insulated drink!!! Or leave the top up if you have to abandon your mug for a while and your drink will stay warm even longer.

Get it?? Hahahaha I crack myself up. The latest addition to the gallery of rectangle creativity is above - buttoned fingerless mitts.
And here I am, modeling one of the mitts. I am having a great deal of fun with this pile of rectangles. Whatever will I do when I have used them all up?

That only used up ONE rectangle. The blue stripe was already on the rectangle. But it looks like I did it on purpose. Just a bonus.
Thing #2
My Fall/Winter purse is big. Actually, it is capacious! So capacious is this purse that more than once I thought I lost my wallet because it slid to the very bottom of the purse. I wanted to get something to hold my wallet and pens and my calendar and change purse - those things I need to find in a hurry. Rectangles to the Rescue!!
This little purse-in-a-purse used up two rectangles, one of which was two-toned, sort of.
Those knit conical aliens were so cute, I wish I could make something like that with my rectangles. Hmmm, I must work on that.

I get Artizen Magazine in my inbox. It is very artsy. I found some conical knit alien thingies in one of the recent issues and they reminded me of my rectangles. Remember those crocheted rectangles? The ones that I don't know what to do with?
Today I did something with three of them - something so simple and so commonplace that I am embarassed it took me so long to come up with this plan.
Thing #1:
My son called me today to tell me that I kept calling him. I was purse calling him, it appears. That happens when the outside pocket of my purse - where I put my cell phone - bumps against my hip as I walk and my phone calls someone. So, I decided to move everything to my Fall/Winter purse and I decided to make a cell phone cozy to protect my phone! So simple! Here it is.
