I saw this nifty blog entry on Vox's front page the other day, and it just kept sticking... I would close the tab to stephanie's blog entry, then re-open it, close it again; you get the idea. It's a blog about her recent accomplishment of getting one thing crossed off of her 101 Things in 1,001 Days...
Warning this post is long on detail and how-to as well as photos. If you aren't sewing inclined you might want to skip reading down to the very bottom where I talk about sewing alternatives (or skip it altogether if you are knitting inclined either). A couple months ago, I got frustrated with the...
T really likes to pour things. "Pord it," he says. This weekend T was able to pour several things, not least of which were black-eyed peas on the diningroom floor. He helped me fill the bean bags I made for him with some leftover scrap material. T's aim isn't that great yet though, so peas went onto...
With all the networking sites out there, I've come across a few art type networking sites recently and wondered if they are any good? Well, the two that I don't know about so far... Maybe some of you can tell me of your experience with these networking sites and if they have given you any worthwhile...
So today I have a few things . . First, I'd like to mention one of the sellers I featured last week . . . again. CharteChic crocheted a couple more wonderful items (perfect for Valentine's Day!) with my yarns. The first is from "Chocolate Cherry Valentine" . . . a super soft skein of superwash...
This weekend Matt and I finally started painting the living room/kitchen. Well, not so much I as Matt and his dad, haha. His dad came over yesterday morning and took Matt to Lowe's to get some painting supplies and paint, and then they started painting the hallway and part of the living room. It...
Hey look, I finished another project! This is Quant from Knitty, which I started about two days ago. Now I want to make, like, eight more of them. It was so easy and mindless and quick to knit. I definitely suggest it to anyone, even beginners. The cool thing is that you feel like you're doing...

Maybe a vacation from the day job was exactly what I needed. While I was away, celebrating my birthday and figuring out how to use MBTA...
Old Skool Days Remember the times when you played the Nintendo so much you got blisters on your thumb? Well I do! *sigh* yeah those were the days….humongous blisters that you had to “pop” and put a band-aid on in order to keep playing (it didn't hurt as much as you would think). I kind of miss...
Patrick and I are getting married! Anyone's who anyone knows that by now, but what they may not know is that I have never been a girl to daydream about my wedding day (not even the dress!). Now that it's impending, I'm elated, but I don't have that built-in motivation to get everything in order the...
I am currently browsing the internet to learn how the "handmade movement" is perceived in other locations on this planet; foremost in locations where people usually don't post to the web in English and are therefore harder to cover for English-speaking people. I feel that currently, the coverage of ...
ok... OK... long time, no posts here... So I guess I've decided not to leave this blog completely! I just have way too many places to post my things. My real blog is my sHandke ART journal. I have several things I'm working on right now. This is a list: creating an online portfolio, my website....
as if everything else wasn't enough, yesterday afternoon had to blow up. One good bit of news though, My professor decided to postpone my pre-cal quiz. (Thank god!!!) And I put in for a tutor before I left school. Now then, My hubby and his son went to go make arrangements, after that, we went to...
Originally published at sixhours photography by caroline moore :: blog. You can comment here or there. I am so excited! Only one day after unveiling my new "custom doodles" listing I have two new orders. Two! I am so incredibly flattered and surprised, and I am having so much fun working on them. So...
In Antwort of Exciting Commerces Frage von gestern, "Machen DaWanda und Burda Moden gemeinsame Sache?". Der Marktplatz ist eingerichtet: Nachtrag 10.01.: Oha. Merci vielmals, Exciting Commerce. P.s. Robert Walker, der Mann, der unlaengst einen ellenlangen Artikel zum Thema handmade2.0 in der NYT...
I promised a neighbor that I would send something to her, and I needed a clever card to send with it. Since I'm sticking to my 2005 resolution of not purchasing any cards, this meant that I needed to whip up a note card. Here's the finished product: This is a 5"x7" card that I made in very little...
Last year, I stumble across this little quilt thing, geared (judging form the box) as a craft for kids. It requires no sewing and consists of tying knots to construct the quilt. The look adorable, and I've seen a few of the finished blankets around. Several people had them at Brenna's soccer games...
I have so much fun blowing shards. Now I have this big pile of baggies with all kinds of experimental shard balls. Some of them just don't work...they make really ugly shards on beads. I mark all the baggies, so when I find something I really like, I will know what it is. I got some fusing things in...
i'm off to a bit of kirtan tonight with Wynne Paris. Tho I am a yoga practitioner, I am not one who walks around spouting off sanskrit, flying off to India, claiming a guru, etc. I do, however, LOVE bhakti yoga, the yoga of devotion. When you find a good kirtan, one that resonates with YOU, it can...
So I have this new necklace that I just listed today, and I am very excited about it. And, it is only $12. This weekend is my best friend's bridal shower. I am a little stressed out about it, because I am a detail person and the little things are important to me. Also, the shower is 8 hours away so...
