After wading through screens of puppies and fairies and Christmas designs, I finally decided to just reorder the argyle that I’m already using. I know; boring. I still can’t figure out what kind of person wants to have Christmas themed checks [...]

Why? Well, I’m lazy, cheap and concerned about the environment. I also love hand made or artisan objects if a suitable vintage piece can’t be fuond, but I [...]

I’ll be peddling my wares at the Patterson Park Flea Market & Craft Fair. I’ll bring all of the vintage and refashioned goodies from my Etsy shop and sell them [...]

It’s time to get out the bikes, unpack the padded shorts and shine up those clipless shoes. Mr. Jones and I will ready ourselves for race season. That means that I’ll stand around asking dumb questions while he puts the bikes up on the stand and clucks about the damage that I’ve inflicted [...]

Famous quotes on peaceful strength and images of Buddha, Gandhi and Mother Theresa are especially helpful to remind me that it can, and has, been done already; I just have to walk the path. I need to hang this in my meditation room as a reminder. The beautiful [...]

Fortunately there are several charitable organizations already providing aid. For this reason I am temporarily converting my Etsy shop over to serve as a means to collect donations to support the efforts [...]

At fewer than 50 miles away from Baltimore, D.C. is just a hop, skip and jump away. We are both members of the same Etsy team: DC Craftacopia, a collection of fun and talented crafters from the D.C. Metro [...]

I am also a member of several teams and even lead one the Fashion:Remix Team. With all of this [...]

However, I noticed and marked a few of their items as favorites before I even realized that they we were teamies. So, without further ado, it has been my pleasure to interview Sweet [...]

If you are into Mayans or Judgement Day there may not be much point in planning out your next project, but as for me; I’ve got a lot of work to do. I am extremely happy to have survived the holidays. Everyone seemed to enjoy the gifts that I made for [...]
