We’re big ‘greenies’. We always carry our own cloth or crocheted grocery bags.
So, to celebrate Earth Day, I want to invite people to whip up some market bags to be oh so handy while they take care of the earth!
The handles are neat because they are made from recycled wire coat hangers.
Here’s the link for […]
am so pleased! I have just learned what workshops I will be teaching
at the Knit and Crochet Show in Portland, Oregon in Sept of 2008.
I’ll be teaching:

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 […]
I was so pleased with the effort that went into creating the Live Earth concert over the weekend. I’ve been working on environmental issues for decades.
As well as being a designer, I am also a professional puppeteer. I spent 15 years performing puppet shows to grades 1, 2 and 3, on taking good care […]
In the summer of 2007, this was one of the workshops that I taught at Chain Link.
For the ‘In Love with the Lover’s Knot’ workshop, one of the inspiration pieces is a small bag that works great for so many things:
I l made wooden heart bases for the Lover’s Knot bags. I still have […]

It feels like the butterfly bag needs to be stabilized, so I am cutting plastic needlepoint mesh into the shape of the front and back of the bag. I’ve cut out the lining, and will get the lining stitched, and then the bag itself.
I’ll slip the mesh between the lining and the bag after the […]
I decided that, for the crocheted version of the butterfly bag, I would work in mostly creams, ecrus and neutrals. But, I decided that the spooknitted one would be a riot of color. So, I used a scrap of treasured fabric to make the lining of the bag. I didn’t want it to be […]
