Summertime projects

I've been working diligently on a few projects I've been wanting to do for a long time...
New clothesline! Yay took me a few days and some tool borrowing but the posts are set and ready to go. Fresh sunshine dried sheets!! Can't wait!

My ridiculously small garden. I used a frame from one of the kids' sandboxes. Its 4'x4' :). I'm planning on 2 more 4'x 10' raised beds right next to it that run parallel to the clothesline.

Beans!

Peppers!

Peas!

INked up

Today was a fun yet very hectic day...I got a tattoo covered up that I've been planning for around 10 years now...My dear friend Lacie, who's a kickass tattoo artist out of Raleigh, NC, was a guest artist at The Tattoo Shop in Lansing...

Thoughts of Spring

My apple skirt was just featured at PurplePinkandOrange.
It was chosen for 6 quick picks: Thoughts of Spring...

I tell ya, I'm thinking about spring everyday. Right now its pouring rain and thundering (which I love!) but its still a little cold...those little spring flowers are going to be poking up really soon :)

Crafting a Green World Feature!

Oh my gosh I'm so excited! Becky from the Crafting a Green World blog contacted me last week about doing a feature on my Noonday Textiles line of hand-dyed hemp fabrics. The posting just went up today.

Let me say, I feel so honored! I just love this blog. Crafting a Green World features do-it-yourself projects that incorporate reused, recycled, and natural materials. It has so many great tips and excellent writers. Please check out the Noonday Textiles Feature, tell your friends :)!

One of my favorite things...

...to do is refresh the Etsy homepage. Last night I was doing this when this artist popped up, Marmee Craft

I may have to pick up some prints... I love this one,

And this one is beautiful!
Her work has this awesome folkloric appeal and subjects all show great emotion...
Thought I'd share!
