Each set of five pencils has been carefully wrapped in vintage sheet music, varnished, and pre-sharpened. They coordinate perfectly with my “Songs of the 60’s” sheet music stationery, and would make a wonderful matching gift set!

Sheet Music Stationery
Hey man, can you dig it? Here’s a gift that your favorite music teacher, music student or any music lover will get jazzed about. Each envelope features sheet music from a “Songs of the 60’s” piano/vocal/guitar book, and comes with coordinating flat note cards. Groovy.

Square Newspaper Coasters
Coming soon to a sweaty beverage near you: Square Newspaper Drink Coasters.
These are still a work-in-progress, but here’s a preview of my latest coasters. Armed with a glue gun and the Sunday paper, I’ve created a *square* coaster to nicely complement my original *round* Newspaper Coasters that I made this summer. More pictures to come after I complete the set!

Plarn Scrubbies
Do you have countless plastic grocery bags falling out of your closet because you feel guilty about clogging up the landfills with even MORE non-biodegradable material?? I know I do. Actually, delete “do” and replace with “did.”
What happened to all of those bags? I transformed them into PLARN, of course! Next question: What is plarn?! Plarn is a PLastic yARN…. In this case, created from plastic grocery sacks. Next, I scoured the web and found a pattern for crocheted scrubbies. I adjusted it a bit (mostly because I’m not very good at crochet, and couldn’t follow the pattern properly), but I think they turned out fairly well. Perfect for scrubbing dishes and pots – the plastic is durable but soft, so it won’t scratch. I tested it on my non-stick pots, and it works nicely!
