Today, I am super excited to bring to you another sustainable style source; AFIA! Meghan Sebold is the lady behind the designs, but she works very closely with Ashanti people of Ghana to produce beautiful clothing that doesn’t trample on the Earth or its people, but rather is created consciously from it. Have a look [...]

February Goals!
Posted in Crafting, Lists, Shop Talk on January 28, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Well, my New Year goals worked out so incredibly well this month that I thought I might add some more to my plate for February! But before I get into that, let’s review (Ha! It’s the teacher in me…I apologize): ♥ Keep at least 10 items in my Etsy shop at all times. – This [...]

If you’re a regular Etsy addict like me, then you may have seen my friend Ben who recently has been all over the front page! He’s a young kid, but he’s unstoppable, and with everything he does creativity, talent, and experience (yes, he has quite a bit of artistic training already!) come, too. I can’t [...]
Oil –> Plastic –> Oil

I don’t think many people know that plastic comes from oil. Our oil consumption is ridiculously out of control because we use it not only for heating, and gasoline for cars, but for every type of plastic that we see (and we see a lot every day) and plenty of other things. The video below [...]

Hello there, friends! The other day I posted some how-tos for making different pieces of a robot costume. Today I thought I’d show you how they all fit together for the intended effect. The robot dance party was last night, and although we had to trek through the icy tundra to get there, we eventually [...]
Cupcake Stands

My latest little dream has been to find a darling cake stand where I can hide my vintage spools of thread from my cat beneath a glass bell jar, and still have them on display! I gain so much inspiration from the colors and composition of a group of wooden spools, but because Atlas has [...]
