I’m working feverishly (and with feverish children, to boot) behind the scenes to get the Jamboree together (are you in, or are you out?) and to get my move over to WordPress, er, moving, so for this week’s Finds I’m sharing my revised blogroll.
I currently have 167 blogs in my feed reader, some fantastic, a [...]

I’ve been super-sick (thanks kindergarten germs!), but I’m so excited to share this big project by Amy at MomAdvice that I had to get over it long enough to pass this along.   She’s spearheading an effort to bring donations to the shelter in her hard-hit hometown in Indiana, and to get us all thinking charitably.  [...]

If you haven’t heard, Martha Stewart (Does she even need a last name? She’s like Iman, or, um, Napoleon.) has launched herself a blog, and she’s looking for great blogs to share.  If you haven’t had a chance yet, go check it out and throw your name in the ring (and if you don’t have [...]

The Friday Finds are great this week and are in the next post down, but if you’re interested in sewing, head over to Sew Mama, Sew to read my tutorial on making a Hanging Bed Organizer. If you haven’t been to the Sew Mama, Sew blog before, have a look around. There are some [...]

Little Birdie Secrets posted a top-notch tutorial on how to stitch up a zippered pencil case.  I’m a sucker for these things…anything to corral my office supply habit! image via littlebirdiesecrets

Maybe I’m just subscribed to too many creative blogs, but there’s just a ton of fun stuff out there this week! Here’s what I was into:

I’ve been thinking of making a solar cooker all summer, and Pepper Paints has just the thing!  They made a solar cooker from a Pringles can.  Seems very doable and [...]

I’ve got a number of things you don’t want to miss this week, but I’ve been trying all day to get this posted so I’m going to keep it pretty simple!  So much inspiration, though, so read on:

Cindy at Skip to My Lou stitched a little pencil pouch for her son out of his discarded [...]

We’ve just arrived home from an, er, extended vacation to my parents’ house only to realize that our vegetable garden has kept going without us. The tomato plants are absolutely staggering under the weight of red and green fruits, the rhubarb is a huge mass of stalks and leaves, giant zucchini have magically appeared, [...]

We’ll, the kids and I are finally tucked in at my parents’ house, and I’m excited to share the fun projects around blogland this week. So many fun ideas that I can’t wait to try, so enjoy!

Maya*Made featured some splendid newspaper party hats festooned with flowers and bits of nature.  We’ll be planning a [...]
