rotary | The Alchemists Vessel

The weekend is here and I don’t think I have ever been so happy to see one!

Friday’s are usually links and promotions, I have been busy with classes this week and haven’t had time to look for much. My plate is suddenly very full, which is a good thing.

I have been talking about starting to teach classes at Jo-Ann‘s. Here is there website. Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. From here you can find a store, look for a class, sign up for offers and even shop some of their items. If you’re a craft-person this is a neat site. You can even buy a class for a friend as a gift.

Yesterday’s blog discussed tools, a rotary or Dremel tool being the prominent tool. Here are three links to the tool.

Dremel.com – Website Homepage.

Video Projects – What should I do with my Dremel?

Customer Creations Gallery – What other people did with their Dremel tool. Some of the projects are amazing!

Like this Curly Maple Clock

A Hardwood Ark

Or this Wooden Sign

Tools are pretty cool.

Next weekend is the last Treasure Valley Market of the season, and I will be attending. We’ll link the commercial and the event one more time next week. I hope to see the locals there.

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend! Rest. Relax. Rejuvenate!

Every Tuesday five great gift ideas from around the web are posted here. This week we have a new shop to introduce and a favorite shop or two returning to the list. Click the title of the item to be taken to the page or shop where it is located.

Magic Dragon Earrings from Shelly Moody of Green Witch Designs. These cute little guys swing from your ears perhaps whispering words of dragon wisdom as they accompany you throughout your day!

Sapphire Blue Cowl Knit Scarf from the Brick Boutique, a new shop on Etsy. Take a look at some of the other fabulous hand knitted items! It’s cold out there, and what a lovely gift of warmth!

Terry Toeman Glows in the Dark! From Studio RGC and sold through Etsy. I love these little collectibles, I want them all! At 3″ tall these are highly detailed, a ton of fun to look at and discover all the nooks and brains and spines… A truly unique addition to any shelf! I’ll say it again, this one GLOWS IN THE DARK!

Mini Rotary Cutter – Youtube video. I love it when people come up with stuff that I can use and share! From Clover the mini rotary cutter can be used for sewing, yarn, clays, well anything that needs to be cut really. Follow the link for the video / picture of the cutter.

Tribbles Last but not least, my Geek is showing! That’s right, it does indeed read “Tribbles”. These are interactive puffballs, toys, created to look and act like the Tribbles on the TV Show Star Trek. I want one!
