Carrot cupcakes

If you're in the mood for carrot cake, try these super moist & easy cupcakes from Martha Stewart. I made 2 batches & got rave reviews! This is a definite keeper for the recipe box!

Another "Thank You" Project

I like adding a personal touch to my handmade cards. Here is a "thank-you" card I recently made with my lifestyle craft letterpress machine. My literal interpretation of "many thanks"!

 On the opposite side of this bronze card I will write a personal note.

I tucked my "many thanks" in a brown craft box. I re-purposed an old catalog to make a filler. The "filler" was make in my vitamix blender! I figured if it can chop-up an avocado pit, it could surely do paper. It worked perfect!

Wooly Wrapping

Another treat from White Barn Farm Sheep & Wool- natural, hand dyed wool roving! This beautiful wool doubles as the perfect ribbon to spice up any gift!
Start with natural kraft paper or even a brown-paper bag (re-purpose!), then use any fabric scrap you have & sew on a band for added contrast. Next, wrap around your roving (yarn scraps work great too!). Finish it off with a bow, or button (this button available at White Barn Farm, is sustainably harvested & made to support an impoverished village in Africa). This will be a treat for any knitting enthusiast!

Have you Any Wool?

Here is a t-shirt I designed for White Barn Farm Sheep & Wool a local farm/fiber/yarn shop in the Hudson Valley. Excuse the poor picture quality which doesn't give these super-soft organic cotton tee's justice. Silk screened locally by ANTILOGY screen printing. Stop by Paula's shop to get your tee, have some tea, and craft till your hearts content with other local artists.

BLINK- logo design

Blink, coming soon to Avon, CT, will be a cool, hip, open-mic venue for teens.
I was excited to do this project because I feel it is important for teens to have a fun & safe environment to express their talents. I hope the idea catches-on and more cities follow suit!

I can't wait for t-shirts, I want one!
