handmade is best

There is nothing like a dated blog to make you feel slack! December is my month for me after doing show after show. And January...well, no excuses!

Here is a great video to remind you why handmade is best. This product is made by hand by a human! Crazy!! And it will outlast any piece of junk that you buy cheap made in a big ol' factory. So buy handmade when you can. It's always worth it!!

crazy creatures

You know I'm a sucker for felt and faces.... A friend just sent me a link to this artist's site and I love her work. Zoe's work is creepy magical fun!

Fall time

The temperature is dropping, leaves are falling, craft shows are kicking in, and the Halloween decor is making an appearance...yes, it is my favorite time of year. And these tiny crocheted skulls are too cool....

The work of Anna Von Mertens is truly amazing. They remind me of mood rings in quilt form.

pipe cleaner greatness

Don Porcella is not afraid of the pipe cleaner. I would dare to say he has brought it to a whole new level. What a fun material to work with...soft and flexible.
