I commented a few days ago about writing to my Senator and Rep about concerns with a new law going into effect February 10. Changes have begun to take place and it looks like a good start. Products made with natural materials such as wood and cotton will not be needing testing. Great. They are [...]

2008 was my start on becoming more self sufficient. Less dependent on the industrial food system, and the mall, is where I started. I feel good about our progress. I had my first vegetable garden this year. We were quite successful and learned a lot. I LOVE tomatoes fresh from the garden. Fresh green beans [...]

This weekend was well used. Saturday was spent time with family participating in one of our holiday traditions. There is an organization called Samaritan’s Purse which, every year, organizes an amazing event. People all over the country take shoe box and fill them will necessity items and toys, to be sent to a child in [...]

Dates coming up! I don’t have a lot of big dates to remember in my life. I am pretty simple, and plan very little, but there are some big dates coming up.
November 15 and 16 I’m teaching a 2 day class at Worcester Center for Crafts on using shaping tools with glass beadmaking. I did [...]

My sincere apology to anyone that was looking for the Knitting to Keep Warm post earlier today. I was so tired by the time I got home last night, all I could handle was sitting on the couch, knitting some socks (pictures to come in tomorrow’s post) and watching “I’m Reed Fish“…a delightful, creative [...]

Between procrastinating, having my iron break and life in general, it seemed I was never going to get this update done. I did it though. There are now several Car Catch-alls to choose from, and some already sold!
Other than getting that done, I worked on the Jack Frost Jacket and thought about a million other [...]

I started out today running errands with mom. We ended up checking out a local organic farm that sells raw milk and yogurt, among other dairy and farm related things. I tried the milk and yogurt, which came in these great glass mason jars. I tried the lowfat milk tonight and the [...]

I am coordinating a knitting event at my local yarn store. I was inspired by the link I shared a while back for knitting for folks in Northern Maine. I’m pretty sure the deadline for that is about here, but I thought that I have neighbors in my own community who will be [...]

Here is the picture of the, no longer, top secret project…by the way the dad liked it so much that he said he’d like one for himself to go hiking in. It’s so fun to make things for people who are excited about them! Thank you, Luke and Sara, for a lovely evening!

She made and used deodorant July 14, 2008

I’ve been on a quest for a deoderant that is natural, contains no carcinogens, smells nice, and WORKS. I’ve been muddling through with various items purchased at various natural pharmacies and food stores, but nothing has really “done it for me”. I think I am pretty stink free, but I have to reapply [...]
