I love these canvas tote bags - especially because of the selection of styles and sizes.  I made a series of black canvas totes, well, because.  They hold an enormous amount of stuff and they are very sturdy.  I used them to move an abundance of Le Creuset Dutch ovens and they didn’t break.  They are also washable - which is a relief.  Here is a sampling, let me know what you think.

Because we needed them in a hurry and I couldn’t find a design or color combination that suited my mood or the rooms.  I also wanted solid color pillows that matched a pattern.  

These wall clocks would be great for any room in the house or at the office.  They are definitely unique and mesmerizing.  It will take 'watching the clock.' to a whole new level.

I’m intrigued by these aluminum cake pans with a lid.  I made a few that can be customized with a monogram or label for the contents.  

I like them because they aren't plastic.  I suppose you have to be careful with the hot heat of the metal.  I have tons of burn scars as a testimonial to my carelessness.  So here are some I've done this week.  Enjoy.


I can’t wait to order some for myself.   They will be perfect as gifts, for the holidays or when you bring goodies to an event.   So classy. 

Well, the worms are not happy with me.  I had to put them in the garage instead of in a unfinished basement.  They are more exposed to the elements in the garage but I didn't have many options. 

Pros:  no fruit fly carcasses in the basement window casings, no fear of attracting vermin into the house, easier access to process the poop (which has been phenomenal for the new plantings)

Cons:  it's too hot in the garage this summer and the worms tried to escape.  The smell was intense and it wasn't a pretty sight.  It made me gag.

So now I have to find a solution like rig a small air conditioning unit near the factory - kidding...For now, I open the garage door to create a breeze and take the worm factory out for an airing.

The plants and trees are flourishing.   I have to make the sure the worms are also.

Happy Summer

It's time to celebrate something.  Father's Day, Graduation, Engagements, Divorce, Babies, Summer, Memorial Day 4th of July, Bastille Day, Being Alive Day.  I could go on and on.  I don't need a reason to open a bottle of Pommery  champagne.  Waking up is a good excuse.

So, here are some sample necessities to get the party started.  Step 1:  Invite someone over.  Step 2:  get a cake and put a cake pick on it.  Who needs candles?  Put the cake on a plate  Step 3:  set out the festive napkins (paper or cloth) Step 4:  Hook up your MP3 speakers and Celebrate!

So, I says to him....I've had a Zazzle store for about 9 months.   I opened a website at FineArmerica one year ago.  I started both of them to do research for a designer friend and got hooked.   As a result, I've been very absentminded, impatient and mildly vague.  When I'm not thinking about how to learn design software, I'm thinking about photography.

This is opening day of this blog, I will be showcasing lots of stuff, not just Zazzle stuff but other things that catch my eye.  Be forewarned.

I also obsess on my worm factory.  They are very excited that the weather is warmer and they are very hungry.

April 26, 2014 is opening day of the Liga de Roberto Clemente in Newark, NJ.  Just saying.
