In other news, I'm heading down to Florida next week to visit my parents and grandparents. Really excited to play on the beach and gather up some sea shells and shark's teeth. I'm hoping to gather those pieces to make some jewelry. Drift wood would also be fun to play with.

I recently ran into a woman who kayaks our local rivers, cleans up the "trash", glass, drift wood, whatever she finds, and turns all those pieces into hanging pieces of art. It really inspired me. I love upcycling and re-purposing.

I also joined a swap a few days ago. Granny Squares! The idea of joining these swaps and slowly collecting squares from different people to make a blanket seems like a lot of fun. As if I need another project!

Speaking of blankets, I started work on a quit a few months back. Almost finished cutting out all the fabric. It uses very unique shapes so it's a bit time consuming. Once I get my first quilt block made, I'll start posting progress pictures.

And that's it for me. Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

Eco Friendly products for your body and home

Mrs. B is having a give-away over at her blog that is being sponsored by Ecostore USA. The products look AMAZING and it's perfect timing for me. We've been trying to find Shampoo and Conditioner that is chemical free, cruelty free and effective. Mrs. B did a review of the products and I'm excited to give it a shot. Whether I win or not, I will still probably order some products. My favorites are "Lemongrass soap", "Rosemary Orange Shampoo+Conditioner" and "Manuka Sandalwood Shampoo+Conditioner". We suffer from dandruff, occasionally oily hair and a serious case of "Scottish Frizz".

So on that note, head over to Mrs. B's and get yourself a chance to with a $25 gift certificate. Not just that but from now until the end of the year EcoStore USA has everything on sale for 40% off! Can not be beat, great for holiday gifts!
