Remember those flannel napkins I made? Well here’s the link flashback in case you missed them. I added some embroidery hearts for a little flare and am thrilled with how they came out. I am also going to be making more for our home and to sell on Etsy. They are so easy to use...

I love finding ways to use up scraps. I came up with this ring when I cut up some scraps to see how small a heart I could get.  I made some for friends as a Mother’s Day gift and a glad-you-drove-all-the-way-from-San Diego-to-see-us gift. They are two ply felt embroidered with floss in your choice...

I love using polymer clay…LOVE IT! I can make my tiny little miniatures and funky jewelry but…it’s not totally eco-friendly. I’m trying to make a difference and truly mesh ecology-minded living with my artisan work. Newspaper is my new friend. I went back to my teaching days and thought of the pulp I ended up...

Okay, maybe I’m not out on the street pushing my goods like this dude, but I know I have found my true calling as a writer. The whole freelancing thing, however, is another story. I love the freedom of working at my own pace, choosing the topics I love and learning about things I may...

I just added a whole lot of fashionable coolness to my Etsy site. If I were you, I’d go snag this cool skinny scarf before it’s gone. Long enough to be used as a belt if you’d like. (Plus size hotties will be quite content with the length) Maybe you would enjoy this pretty little...

I have been thinking about making these guys for a while now. I have a bunch of baby food jars I wanted to reuse, but for what. Well, my daughter used one for a cocoon and since we now have a hive next door, the idea hit me like a swarm. These are needle felted...

A fellow Etsy seller forwarded a blog post that is near and dear to her heart. It deals with budget cuts and historically significant piece of American history, Pennsylvania’s Flagship, the Niagra. Here’s the link to her post. I just love it when a group bands together.

Oh I can’t tell you how happy I was to find these pillowcases. I had this set when I was little and it was a hand-me-down going back….who knows how many years. It’s funny because my husband admitted that he thought he might have had it and the check-out gal at Goodwill said she had...

There are just some people who should live forever. I am heartbroken today and not even a viewing of the Secret of NIMH will soothe this pain. We were one of those families that talked like Captain Chaos. “Him doesn’t like talking out the garbage. Him doesn’t feel like doing homework”. So, the news of...

I am so sad right now. You know as celebrities get older their time here on Earth, like any normal human, is precious. There are some people that you just would have liked to live forever. Dom DeLuise was one of those people who I grew up with and just always thought would be around....

My friend over at Ecogeneration did a great post on the naughty chemicals in our bath and body products. I make products for my friends, family and self, but there are some great natural formulas on the market. Go take a look at what to look for and then go over to Greensprings0′s shop on...

Eco Spring Cleaning is now live on chick advisor. You can learn how I clean my house the Earth friendly way. Go comment there or come back and comment here. I love learning about new methods if you have any to offer. Here’s the link. Source CC photo courtesy of elycefeliz
