I was given a broken umbrella with some really cool fabric on it. It is a sea scean with those little wave running birds. Very pretty colors. I want to do something with it but not sure what. Load me up with ideas. I know you can do it!!!!

or a tote bag.... If you don't have enough for the entire bag, you could cut out pieces and applique them on.

How about trimming bathroom towels with a strip of it across the end, so it shows when they are folded and hug on the towel rod? Then, of course, you could cover a little box for the bathroom or line a basket with guest toiletries:) You could cover a little trashcan, too - you'd have a whole little ocean theme going on! I'm dangerous when you give me a theme! I think I'll see you in Texas in May - are you the kwhite going to the retreat? We're driving from California:)
