Crafting my little heart out!

I’ve decided to take this week off from the website and focus on making things for this weekend’s Green Fair. Lish and I have been hard at work coordinating and organizing the Swap-O-Rama-Rama and Rethunk booths, and now it all is coming down to the final details and making lots of stuff. Not only am [...]

Things I learned this weekend…

-Trying to cut little Michigans out of Astroturf is nearly impossible and will really dull a pair of scissors. It will also result in a big mess! So much for that Mitten Pin idea for Handmade Detroit… -I need to go out more! I had a great time with Mary on Sunday night drinking at [...]

Springtime I'm in love…

The past week it really began to seem like spring here in Michigan, and Dan and I started talking about how great it would be to take bike rides around the neighborhood again. I was thinking of getting a new bike this year, since my bike needed quite a lot of work done to it. [...]

New Mannequins!

A couple of months ago I was able to find a great woman mannequin on Craigslist for a steal. I originally got her to use as a display at shows we would be selling at in the future, but after looking at her for a few days in the office I thought she would be [...]
