“Organizing tip of the day” my *&!

Share

Ok, Martha, I normally enjoy my little organizing tip of the day, but really! This is how she recommends we store fabric scraps. Sheesh!

Shrinky dinks the cheap (ahem, I mean green) way!

Share

LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea from Curbly.com (which I just found by surfing around) for FREE shrinky dinks out of #6 recycle containers. I don’t know about you, but Denver doesn’t accept #6′s, so I’m always (gasp) throwing them out. Note: which containers are #6? After a quick survey of myfridge we don’t have [...]

My daughter cracked me up by asking “Mommy, why do all the houses out here look the same [...]

The debate on Art Vs Craft continues

Share

My first article on Art Versus Craft led me to some interesting insights. Basically the first article was really a question, “What defines “ticky tacky” and where’s the line between that and art and craft.”

I posted this on the Fiber Arts board and got some fabulous responses: http://fiberartsmixedmedia.ning.com/ Probably the biggest response was [...]

Tacky or Craft? How do you know the difference?

Share

I’m in the mood to stir up trouble! Not sure why, I woke up in a feisty mood this morning! I’m pondering something tho. As I posted the other day I had a good surf around the net, being in complete awe of some of the art/craft that people do. Amazing.

However, in running Helping [...]

A new website for a Happy New Year!

I’m in the middle of a little blog reconstruction – most notably because I’m launching a new site.

This is a “soft launch” right now, to just get the word out and line up a few more teachers (the ones I have lined up will be posted soon!). The concept of the site [...]
