Name That Theme

It's time for another of my random collections of items that caught my eye from the team. Let's see if I can find a theme out of these...

I love finding handmade soaps and such. It amazes me that people can make these things themselves, and I bet they smell so much better, too.

I think I need a feather quill. I've never written with a feather quill.

Now that I got my hair cut, I keep running across all these great hair accessories.

There's something about this necklace. I don't know what it is. Perhaps it's part of the theme?

I like the simplicity of this.

And I like the complexity of this.

Too much jewelry. It must have a place to live, right?

So, theme? I've got nothing. But it was kind of a fun trip.

What do you think? What sort of theme do you think goes with these items?

Seeing Green

This week I challenged the team to show me their green. Here's what they came up with...

Think Eco2 went more figurative than literal, giving us this carrier made from reclaimed wood:

From Fait Main Designs:


The Crafty Nana says:
I crocheted these pot holder sets to help to celebrate St Patrick's Day. The square white and green set has the shamrocks embedded into the white piece. It is all crocheted as one piece. Both sets are double thickness, so that they can serve as hot pads as well as pot holders or just decorations.

Ohmay Designs says:
The knitted stitch is called the Linen stitch, which gives the yarn a woven linen fabric look. It makes a gorgeous textured background to highlight the darker green trim and leaves.

From reVetro:
Kelly and I collect empty bottles from local bars, restaurants, events (friends and family, too), and repurpose into eco jewelry. I cut, fire, grind, sand and polish the glass into beads for our jewelry line. GREEN WISHES!

Zizi Rho Designs says:
I knit these shamrock shapes, then felted them. I just love turning knitted/felted pieces into earrings. They turn out so light...
