recycle and winners

I like to recycle things, do you?  I have shown you my pot scrubbers from plastic onion/orange bags before and here are a couple I made today:

I have a burlap bag that had pinto beans inside.  Of course, I couldn't throw it away and as popular as burlap pillows are these days, that just doesn't interest me.  Do you have any suggestions on what I can do with this 17" X 27" piece of burlap?  We often entertain outside(except in this exceptionally hot weather) and I was thinking maybe a table topper or runner. 

I have randomly picked the winners for my blog anniversary giveaway:

mesh pot scrubber

I read about making pot scrubbers from mesh bags on a blog the other day, and could hardly wait to purchase something in a mesh bag so I could make one.  I can't remember which blog(sorry, I read so many), but they used an onion bag, and mine happens to be from a bag of mandarin oranges, but of course it makes no difference : )  I like to "go green" when I can, so this is an easy way to recycle!  OH, and it has Tiger's approval.
