One of my favorite artists Helle Jorgenson just opened an Etsy shop called Gooseflesh filled with beautiful jewelry made from “pre-loved” tapestry wool and other little bits and bobs.
The bracelet on the right is already sold so act fast!

I’m having a hard time motivating myself this week. The million of deadlines of the past two weeks have come and gone and most of what I have left to do is self-imposed, the hardest of deadlines to follow.
So far today, my most productive moment came when I moved all of my table linens out [...]

Despite the heat and humidity yesterday, I decided it would be a good day to make a pie. I love berry season and it would be a shame for it to fly by without a few pies!
I don’t usually make my own crust too but it wasn’t that much harder than buying it pre-made. And [...]

I’m having a hard time getting myself going after the whirlwind that was Renegade so I though I would make a little list of things that have been inspiring me lately. In fact, I am going to try and make this a regular weekly thing. I hate forcing myself into blog schedules but it’s always [...]

I have always loved pink. I hate when people brush it off as a girly, little kid color. First of all, there is nothing wrong with being unabashedly girly but also, pink is so much more complex than that.

Here are three of the collages I made for Renegade. I sold all of them pretty quickly but I plan to make more and put them on my Etsy shop! They are mounted onto blocks of wood.

I’ve had the plans for these in my head for years but somehow I had never gotten around to [...]

Well, Renegade has come and gone. We came, we sold, we spent most of our earnings on adorable handmade things. Ok, maybe not most but I was uncharacteristically loose with my wallet.

Here’s all of us on Sunday night, struggling to stay awake and on our feet. I’m on the end-damn, I’m short!
I decided not [...]

I’ll be at Renegade Craft Fair for the weekend selling my wares so I won’t be able to update for a few days. Hope you can make it!
I’ll be back next week with lots of pictures and new inspiration!

I adore this bench made by Etsy seller JackRabbit.
The designer crocheted hundreds (369, to be exact) of little “weiners” (heehee) from donated recycled sweaters that she dyed with a natural mix of madder and hibiscus flowers.
She then used the stuffing from and old couch found on the street to stuff the weiners and used a [...]
