I know I know, how many of us actually use napkins, especially nice cloth ones? I could get on my soapbox and start talking about using cloth napkins to save paper and reduce garbage, and then I could get on another soap box and talk about proper dinner table etiquette, but we all know that […]

fabric garlands – it’s party time!
Guess what? It’s been a whole year!!! That’s right, a year ago I began blogging, shouting into the bustle of the internet, waving my arms and hoping to be heard above all the tweets and the porn and the snickering over at 4-Chan and the sound of puppies being cute and of kittens reducing people […]

I just biked across town in said wind, cursing extravagantly and vowing (impossibly) to do things to the wind which my […]

paper ornaments – it’s Magic!

paper pumpkins
Now that we’re halfway through October it truly is the season of creepy dolls and intricately mutilated gourds. I’m not usually big on decorating, except at Christmas, because there just isn’t room in our place. (Where does Martha Stewart keep all her gold plated pine cones, swan feather wreaths and foil-wrapped heart garlands in the […]

If life gives you garbage, make confetti!
Maybe it’s that I spent too much time on crafting this week, or maybe it’s just the natural cycle of things, but on Thursday my creativity crashed headlong into a brick wall, quivered a bit and then lay pathetically still. Just in time to put together this week’s blog post, naturally. Discussing this unfortunate event […]

easy ribbon roses
Here’s a fast, simple and elegant craft to help you prepare for Mothers’ Day. Or any other I-love-you, gift-giving, here-have-something-pretty occasion. You don’t have to use ribbon for this, either. You can use any long and narrow piece or cloth. Try a strip of scrap fabric, even a shoelace might work. Don’t have either of […]
