This week’s Yoga for Crafters over at Crafting a Green World is for the fiber artists! I’m really enjoying putting this series together. I’ve learned some new poses, and it’s keeping me focused on my own practice somehow. It’s also reminding me that for years and years I thought I’d be a yoga instructor when I grew up. Maybe this is me playing that out?

Check out the latest Yoga for Crafters right here or, take a peek at the whole series right over here!

Incidentally, if you’re a crafter, I’d love to hear from you! What do you make, and where do you experience stiffness or soreness after a long day or night of making?

So around this time last year, Ally and I made a bunch of infused vodka. I guess the summer must put cocktails on my mind, because I’m thinking I’d like to do that again! If you want to read about how to make infusions of your own, check out my post over at Crafting a Green World!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I’m hitting up a screening of Re-Construct over at Young Blood Gallery and then sewing my little fingers off. I hope there’s time on Sunday to get my Spring veggies planted. I’m so behind on my porch garden!

I’ve got a big bowl of corks in the kitchen that’s mocking me. They dare me to find a project to use them up. Well the joke’s on you, little corks! I didn’t just find one way to turn you into something new. I found ten.

  1. Make your next party fancy with wine cork place card holders! Just cut a small slit into each cork and slide the place card right in. Bonus points if the place cards are made from reused material, too. Maybe discarded cereal boxes?
  2. Glue slices of cork to the bottom of your flowerpots to keep them from scratching the floor or your deck and give any moisture a place to go!
  3. You can slice the cork into rounds that would work wonderfully as beads for a necklace or bracelet!

    4. …read the rest of my post over at Crafting a Green World!
