Etsy Friday: Helm Sheet Chainmail Cuff
Friday January 16, 2009
One thing I love about Twitter is that it keeps me connected to so many Etsy artists. One of the more frequent crafter tweeters is
Red Panda Jewelry, who makes these sweet chain mail styles with metal links and rubber rings.
I love this cuff in particular because it looks like it has so many different layers to it. Check out this heavy metal and more at Red Panda's Etsy shop.

Pressing Issues to be Eco-Fabulous
Thursday January 15, 2009
You can have a tote bag that reflects your style and holds all your groceries. I mean
without spending ten bucks at Wally World. Just grab a cheap blank tote from your local craft store or even
make one out of t-shirts. Once you've got your hands on a blank canvas, it's just a matter of a few iron-on patches to press.
Do you have any tricks for iron-on patches?

Get Your Oyster Dress for Free
Monday January 12, 2009
The hottest color on the red carpet during the Golden Globes was hardly a color at all. Gracing the bodies of Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Amanda Seyfried, Elisabeth Rohm, and America Ferrera, oyster was the definite 'it' color of the 2009 Golden Globes.
The best news about this near-white is that you can get the look with a little box of RIT #34 'taupe' dye and a bowl. I always did love oysters!
