Yesterday, I posted about the ‘Blogiversary Bracelets’ that
I made to celebrate my daughter, Chloë’s and my blogiversary of our blogging for 2 years for b5.
We drove to their house for dinner last night - through a storm of epic proportions. Whew!~ visibility at one point was zero. We had to pull off the road because […]
Oh rats! I have been waiting to post about the
Doll Celebration in Japan. In the back of my mind, I was convinced it was May 5. I figured that I would just google it to confirm that, and wailie, wailie! The doll festival was March 3!
Ah well, today, May 5, is still cause for celebration. […]
I’ve been having a wonderful time, re-fashioning, reclaiming, re-using, recycling and eco-crafting up a storm in celebration of Earth Day.
I reclaimed part of old desk drawers to make bag handles:
and I took a broken loom and turned it into wonderful ‘eco-bracelets’:
I have lots more eco projects up my sleeve, so stay tuned!

I’ve been having a wonderful time reclaiming and re-using and recycling old bits of wood from a broken loom and a broken desk.
I made bag handles from the disintegrated desk:
and ‘eco’ bracelets from the schmooshed loom:
And here’s how the open sided bracelet evolved:
I cut it out from the lower part of the little keel loom:

Tick tock…. Earth Day is getting closer….. eco projects abound!
Yesterday, I posted about making ‘eco bracelets’ from reclaimed wood. A small loom that I was very fond of broke, so I didn’t want to just toss it.
I’ve just finished burning the designs on the round bracelet:
and the other side:
My daughter approves! She’s asked for […]
We’re getting closer and closer to Earth Day (well, actually…..
EVERY day SHOULD be Earth Day), so I’ve decided to share a few of the eco friendly things that are happening in my studio.
I love taking something that -could- be thrown away, and reclaiming it by making something else with it.
For instance….. I recently broke a […]
My clever son-in-law just made my daughter the most wonderful bracelet.
It’s a copper bracelet that he made by tweaking the design for the wonderful shuttles that he makes.

I would HAPPILY wear one or ten of those.

Woohoo!
Embellished Crochet is out- yay!
I haven’t received my copy yet, but I went to Amazon.com to take a peek at it, and am tickled pink to see that 2 of my designs are on the front cover (the beaded scarf and the beaded bracelets) and 2 more are on the back cover (the bag with […]
Welcome to this month’s b5 artist’s showcase!
We usually have an artist’s showcase around the middle of the month, but the b5 arts/crafts bloggers decided to have it early this month.
That way, people can use our ideas to make great Valentine’s day presents.
Since I am hosting it this month, I am going to start off […]
Friendship bracelets are fun to make, and a treat to give. This one is my original design, and is copyright, so it’s for personal use only, not for sale or manufacturing. The images and text are copyright and not to be copied.
I designed this one for Valentines Day, or any day of the year, […]
For the love of knitting, crochet, spoolknitting, spinning and weaving!
