So, like Van, I haven’t been to your blog for a while, but I LOVE the new look. I also think that the branch jewelry holder is ingenious! I hope you are well!

Yay! The stand works very well, and I love how practical and stylish it is. Plus, it’s easy peasy to make.

Comment on Clearing the Clutter and Making Space in the Home by Van

I’m constantly fighting clutter, striving to edit and reach perfection in my household. The day where I reach into any closet, cabinet, or drawer and miraculously pull out exactly what I need has yet to come, but I’m getting closet every day.

At this point in time reading books on organizing and looking at pictures of organized homes is like porn for me…

I haven’t checked back at your cool marketing/craft/creative blog here in a while, I love the fresh new blog layout. I’ve been wanting to make of these gorgeous twig jewelry holders for a while but couldn’t think of a base to stand it on- your blog happily solves that problem. I can’t wait to put this craft into action; thanks for the tip and the lovely pictures!

Your goals are practically identical to mine, I think America as a whole is trying to cut out the crap convenience foods that we became addicted to by being too busy to worry about our most important asset- health! You did a good job by changing your diet and adhering to a fast, even if it was for a little while.

This year I’ve been eating healthfully and mindfully, crafting, creating art, and getting organize just like I had planned. Let’s continue to inspire each other to pick up the pace and keep up the progress!

I haven’t written out my goals like you have, but I did have some. One was to strengthen my core to help eliminate my back problems. Check! Started a pilates class at the YMCA. Also, I wanted to start volunteering. I submitted an application, but haven’t heard back yet. I’m working on knitting all my Christmas gifts, and I’m making headway on that. I’ve got one 5K under my belt and am training for another the end of this month, working up to a 15K in September. We got one more credit card paid off. I’ve started working more diligently on a book that has been in my head for a few years (I’d like to have it done by the end of 2010.)

Me and my college roommate have a thing for Pee Wee. I will be making her a shirt with this design – I hope mine turns out as nice as yours. It looks like you kind of glided over some of the real curvy lines and evened it out to make it more simple to cut???

Great final product!

I’m hoping for a new job soon (waiting to hear about a second interview) and I might need to revamp my wardrobe if I do get the job (no idea what the dress code is…) If I get it and I need to revamp, I will certainly be referencing this post again!

I have to agree with you on the boots. Right now, they’re not the most flattering, but they will be by next fall!

Awww, thank you for the compliment and linking! It is CRAZY hard to find clothing in my size that isn’t dowdy or tacky or ill-fitting. My next step is to go through my entire wardrobe, toss/sell/mend the bad, and save up for some really good pieces. It’s so tough, but once you really get elbow deep in everything, you can find (and make–I’m starting my first sewing project soon!) good quality pieces. It just takes devotion!

That’s insane. I can’t believe with so many people looking for work that there are people that can be so incompetent at their job. Do they realize that they are there to ensure the safty of kids. Otherwise why even have the hand stamping in place?

Hi! Just came across your blog and wanted to let you know about my blog, Those Who Hunger, which provides recipes and devotionals for people doing the Daniel Fast. Perhaps it will encourage you. I pray that the Lord will richly bless you as you seek Him during your fast.

You go girl! I’m so proud of you guys! We’re trying to eat more whole foods and eliminate processed foods as well. I was reading about Crohn’s disease, and I’m not surprised to read that it is found prominently in developed nations (where there are a lot of packaged foods) and that those that consume a high amount of processed foods will put you at greater risk for developing the disease. Of course, you have to have the auto-immune genetic component too, but I thought that was interesting, nevertheless. Dan won’t watch Food, Inc. with me. He says he doesn’t want to know what goes into the foods we eat. Out of site, out of mind I guess. I would love to try to eat more whole foods, fruits, veggies, and whole grains, but it’s so hard when those are the things that Dan can’t eat. Then, of course you have the money aspect of it too. I’d be interested in getting your thoughts on the book once you read it. It looks like a GREAT read. I may see if its at our library. Keep up the great job! Glad you’re feeling better!

I have a new-found love of soy milk and don’t think I’ll go back to regular. I am having a VERY hard time with sweets and caffeine, though. I feel 100 times better but after eating for pleasure for so long, it’s hard to just eat, you know? I’m getting the hang of it. I’m on day 3, which is 2.5 days longer than I thought I would last, so that’s always a positive!
