I didn’t plan this, but the most recent additions to my etsy shop speak all about what’s going on with my life right now. They are all made from vintage cards (flash and game) and I could just eat them all up!

Have all ya’ll heard about swap-bot? I found it last week a few clicks away from one of my favorite crafty blogs. It’s the modern crafty version of pen pals- sort of. There are currently about 500 swaps going on- ranging from e-mails sharing your favorite craft links to handmade aprons. [...]

oh tulips! oh daffodils! The shop is bursting with fresh color for spring. There’s a gingham in pink, celery green, grass green, and lemonade yellow, and luscious linens and crisp cotton plaids. Easter egg hunts are going to be so dandy this year!
