shaping-progress-international-womens-day-march-8-2008

It began on March 8, 1908 in New York City. 15,000 women took to the streets and marched to ask for better pay and shorter hours. And for the right to cast their vote. In 1911, Clara Zetkin, leader of the Women’s Office for Social Democratic Party in Germany launched the first […]

I heart iHanna!

i-heart-ihanna

For quite some time, I’ve had this secret obsession–iHanna. This girl is uber-cool. She crafts and crafts and crafts… and creates some of the coolest things ever. My favorite items I’ve come across lately from Hanna Anderson?

I adore this jean purse. If I wore a smaller size, I’d try and make […]

… Tuesdai Noelle!
Born in Tacoma, Washington, Tuesdai began her crafting 3 years ago with a pair of white jeans. Turning them into a work of art, Tuesdai decorated them with “dirty handprints and lips.” After that, the pieces came rolling out… including denim skirts and jeans.

For information on ordering and more on Tuesdai, […]

Getting to know…

getting-to-know

As the second day of 2008 ticks away, I keep asking myself, “Self… what do you want to do with the New Year?” Resolutions are so last year. So, instead of making some lame promise I won’t keep (ie: stop eating chocolate or swearing like a sailor), I decided to just make a […]

I wonder how many women know that November 25th was the ‘International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women,’ a day that was recognised by the General assembly of the United Nations in 1999, with a view to raising public awareness of the violation of the rights against women. I had […]

Who is Afraid of the Big, Bad, Mammogram?

who-is-afraid-of-the-big-bad-mammogram

Me. That’s who. Or at least I was before yesterday at exactly 3:05PM. That’s when I experienced one for the first time. That is the moment I realized I’d been a complete moron for not having gotten one sooner.
I’ve heard so many rumors about how painful Mammograms were. “They put you in this machine and […]

NaNo NaNo

nano-nano

No, this is not an ode to Mork & Mindy - though I do love the insanely talented Robin Williams. Rather, a glimpse into the writers - published, yet-to-be-published, and closet writers - that willingly sign on for 30 days of insanity, also known as National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo.
