Hello there! I'm Sister Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

Resource Roundup #2

Hi, everyone – let’s get back into the swing with a little Resource Roundup:

Better Homes and Gardens has just launched its 100 Days of Holidays program, which looks like great fun. There’s a subscriber email newsletter, plus over 400 slide shows, 50 tutorial videos, online courses, and interactive tools.

. . . Like this Pumpkin Stencil Maker! You can drag and drop various eyes, noses, and mouths onto your pumpkin, change their sizes, arrange them just so, and then print out a copy to transfer to a real, live pumpkin. Awesome!

Next up, there’s Ecologue, a new website devoted to living green. It’s a collection of how-to articles and videos, and they have a whole category for Crafty Recycling.

The collection of projects is pretty interesting. I love this bowl made from the wire spirals from old spiral notebooks, by Michelle Kaufman

What’s really innovative about this site is that it includes a map to green resources near you. Check it out!

And then there’s Artella. Most papercrafters seem to know about this site, but it’s a fun resource for creative people of all stripes. Take a little time and explore – there are all kinds of articles, images, and inspiration.

Before I sign off, I want to thank you all so much for your loving support during last week’s kitty crisis. Your comments and emails warmed my heart and eased the pain greatly. I was surprised to hear from quite a few people who’ve had a similar experience while adopting a shelter animal. How utterly sad – I wish there were a better way.

I love this community. I love all of you. Thank you so much.
