So I had this really great conversation not too long ago with Liz and Lori while we were working on swag for ICE. We got to talking about where Glue & Glitter was headed, and what I was really trying to go for. We sort of talked about what’s really…me? And we got on the subject of cooking, of kitchen stuff and food-related crafts. It got me thinking. I woke up the next morning full of ideas that I’ve been working on sort of pulling together. It’s time to give this place a facelift and focus my efforts again. Why not do a new design while I’m at it, right? So here it is!

What strikes me most about the kitchen is the waste. There are so many little changes you can make in that single room that really add up to a huge impact. Something as small as using cloth towels and napkins in place of paper ones makes a big difference when you think about how often you use that stuff every day. Even the act of cooking is so much greener than takeout when you consider all of the packaging and whatnot involved in ordering that Chinese delivery. If a cute apron encourages you to get in there and put a meal together, or a Lunch Kit would get you packing your lunch for work or school, I hope that I can make one to inspire you!

I’m also going to be working on moving the recipes from Apron Strings over here and eventually phasing that blog out all together. It feels really good to combine my food obsession with my crafty life!

My goal has always been to make products that help folks cut waste out of their day-to-day, and what better place than in the kitchen? Food is my passion. I’ve got some new, fun projects on deck on that front. The shop is closed right now, since tomorrow Dave and I are headed to LONDON tomorrow! It will be back up when we get home the weekend after this coming, though. I’ll have some recipes set to come out while I’m away, so keep an eye out!
