GreenCraft Magazine...And a Giveaway!

Have you seen the newest issue of GreenCraft magazine?

It is fantastic.


So many fantastic projects.

I love green crafts...

Reusing, up-cycling and recycling are so important to all of us.


I am tickled to have a couple projects in this issue.

Here are my Stubby Pencil necklaces.


 I love how a little clay and some paint can change something that would get thrown away into something so cute to wear.
I

My dear friend Melinda Barnett used some stubby pencils too.

Check out her adorable earrings.



My tiny shampoo bottle reliquary is in this issue.



One of my favorite projects is the cuffs made from shampoo bottles.


Ella Wilson uses candy tubes to make some really cute ways to store change for laundry.


One of the new articles is a round up of projects all made from the same material.

This issue has a round up of things made from sweaters.

See that bag with the red heart?

That was mine.

I so loved those cupcake pincushions and that sweet little dachshund (also from Melinda Barnett).


Melinda Barnett's amazing plant markers made from old spoons are on the cover.

Haute Handbag magazine...

My contributor's copy of Haute Handbags is here.

Have you seen it yet?

They have a new editor... Natalie Way.

She is doing a great job and definitely hit the ground running.


My "I Felt Something Wool Bags" are in it...

I love when you get a byline...




These bags are so easy to make and so much fun.



I love felting wool because you never know exactly how it will turn out....

These turned out great.




The handles are all built right into the bag.





I love the wool rope tie...

Once I looked at the magazine, I decided to use one when I switch to my winter bag.

I made this one when I made the other two.

It is actually my favorite of the three.




The only disadvantage is that it has short handles.



I love a cross-body bag best...

I love to be hands free.

But this will be wooly and warm and fun when the snowflakes start to fly...


The other two will end up in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for stopping by....
