Two solutions in search of a problem

Solution number 1:  I have lots of cloth strips that I've cut and pressed with an iron, ready to be sewed into face masks.  They hang on my tool bag here, ready to be put to use . . . 

. . . even though (yay), we have more than enough face masks in the world now, and I'm not sewing them by the dozens any more.

Solution number 2:  Beautiful cloth napkins!  They came in the "watch kit" that we bought for our Pitch Party.  They're locally made, organic materials . . . yada yada yada . . . 

. . . even though (yay), we have more than enough napkins in my home now, and in my kids' homes, and . . . well, in the homes of anyone close enough to me to foist cloth napkins off on.   This particular set is also really pretty, but also made of incredibly sheer fabric, so I don't want to use them to replace our (already pretty, and much more sturdy) existing napkins. 

So, two solutions with no corresponding problems.  Kind of like Jeopardy: I've got answers; what's the question?  

Clearly, it's time to invent a new problem.   And . . . here it is!  We've got so many CSA vegetables coming our way, that I keep running out of mesh bags because our available ones are already in use.    Where ever can I find good fabric and long drawstrings to make myself a set of nice veggie storage bags?

 

I think I win this round.
