It turns out that I’m going to be leaving out of town right after work tomorrow and will not be able to revamp shop this weekend. Some stuff is backordered and just isn’t going to arrive on time too. I guess everything doesn’t always turn out just right. I’m hoping […]

All the confirmations have been sent out. Thank you everyone!

After many set backs this summer, things are calming down a bit and working themselves out. I took my ibook to the apple store (a day trip really, it’s an hour and a half away) and was confirmed in my fears that it was indeed kaput (not capute, hehe, woops). […]

I always get these grandiose ideas about polymer clay. I think I’m going to make these wonderfully maticulous little doo dads… and then nothing. Maybe some mashed up bits, but not much else. Combine that with the fact that I made some earrings a while back and you get 20 […]

Well… it’s happened again, my sewing machine broke. Seriously though, what was I expecting? The poor little guy just wasn’t made for what I was dishing out on almost a daily basis. Not only is the bobin tension way off, the needle is misaligned, and I’ve over heated the motor […]

I first came upon this necklace by chance. I was trying to restring a shell necklace that I had purchased while in France. I wore it so often that after 2 years it finally gave out. Well, there was no way I could re-string it in the same way because […]

I’m going to talk about the “and stuff” first off so hopefully more people will read it, then I’ll post about Blogher. Okay so first off, in my haste to get the pattern up on Saturday I made a typo and messed up the pdf link. It’s fixed so go […]

Okay, I’m so sorry! You folks have exceeded my bandwidth again where I’m hosting the pdf’s for downloading. It’s totally being fixed and we should be a-okay shortly. We doubled it from last time…. I’m pretty amazed really. I’ll let you know when it’s fixed and you can start downloading […]

Really quick, here is the link to audio of the panel session: Link. Jennifer of Craft Sanity recorded it. Make sure to check out the rest of her interviews, which rock! I’ll be back with more pictures and such. ps – it is so weird to hear myself talk….

It was pretty fun at the Arts and Crafts table today. I got to hang out with Natalie of CRAFTzine, Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood of the Craft Sanity podcast, Lish Dorset of Lish Magic and Handmade Detroit, Dave Coustan, and quite a few others. It was a super fun.. And I’m totally […]

Hey there folks! I just wanted to pop in and say “hi” before I head off to the Windy City for the BlogHer conference. It should be so much fun! I’m excited and nervous and still in shock that I’m going! I’m almost packed, including: Handmade buttons by my friend […]

Okay, so I have this other project going on and I thought I would tell you a bit about it. It’s called Green Prairie Fibers. It started out with me playing with natural dyes, which soon became an obsession. I started dyeing more than I could knit and so, I […]

Nikkishell from over at SewGreen posted this great tutorial on how to make your own house slippers out of an old wool blanket. I’m sure it could be applied to an old felted up sweater too! Go check it out! I saw it on TreeHugger.

Okay so sorry about the delay in the pattern download for the hook clutch. I exceeded my bandwidth! Well, you all exceeded my bandwidth! It’s being fixed now and everything should be a-okay soon. I’ve been storing the patterns on the domain space www.craftleftovers.com so you can just click to […]
