Well, first let me say that it’s good to be back. I haven’t posted lately because I recently upgraded WordPress and caused by blog to asplode…oops.

Mar

2011

The catastrophic events that have taken place in Japan over the last week are almost unimaginable, the suffering of the survivors nearly inconceivable.

After the devastation wrought on Japan last week with the earthquake and subsequent tsunami I wanted to help.

I really enjoy recycling clothes and its true that with a little assistance that I can make darn near anything out of an old T-shirt, but I’ve always been drawn to knitting and crochet. The trouble is that I don’t actually know anyone who does it and everyone who has tried it complained that they ...

My Very Own Etsy Store

Oct

2009

So about 6 months ago I got this crazy idea to start selling my recycled tshirt stuff at outdoor fairs, or even our own Lauraville Market Connection. Unfortunately, neither time nor bank account allowed me to get my little shop off the ground. Fortunately Etsy makes it easy and cheap to try it out. The ...
