Afishionado

Good morning all,
I love to give gifts that are home made (big surprise!) and for years my kids got two presents for Christmas, one of which was home made. It isn't much different for their birthdays. My girls are easy and can always use a purse or bag, but my son is a challenge. As you know I've been making Bird Beds™, some of which are made from plastic. I thought maybe he'd like something similar. He's got two very nice fish tanks and is a real aficionado. That's when it hit me. Please welcome Afishionado the fishy bank. He also doubles as a Bird Bed. Hope you all enjoy this glorious Sunday. Happy, happy week!
P.S. These are sure to be very popular (one sold already) but are not yet available on gpurse.com, but contact me and I'll get started on yours asap! green.purse79@yahoo.com

We can do that!

Good morning all,
Happy Father's Day to all you dads! Todays post will hopefully get you to think outside the box. I have a very good client who lets me be really creative. She wanted a new curtain for her front door and I thought it would be fun to do something really different than you normal valance. Because I still have a ton of spinning wool (thank you Kohler High School)I thought I'd try a kind of lace window covering. It certainly did take some time but I was very happy with the result and think she will be too. Your ideas and thoughts are always welcome. Happy, happy week!

Organic Produce

Good morning all,
I was having a discussion with friends the other day about organic foods. It made me realize most people think that because it states being "organic" they feel it is safe to eat. It is when it is handled correctly. Organic means void of drugs, hormones, or synthetic chemicals. It doesn't mean they don't use fertilizers or pesticides, it indicates the use of strictly ones originating from animals or vegetables. The most common is manure. So when you shop at your local farmers market, be sure you wash your hands and produce before consuming them. Happy, happy week!

Inverted Pylon

Good morning all,
Today's post has to be about one of my newest creations. The Moss Balls have been a real hit at the farmers market and I thought it would be good to introduce another shape. After lots of thought of how to accomplish it, I came up with a cone. Not only does it a dimension to a grouping, it allows for a larger plant. These will not be for sale on line so come and see me at the market Wednesdays or Saturdays through June. Happy, happy week!
