What I’ve been working on for ages……….. It’s always a challenge to get prepared for winter shows when needle felting takes so long, I’ve been knitting mini scarves and stabbying snowmen since the start of July so it’s nice to finally show them to you……..although I do kinda think to soon to share?………….nah It’s almost November, gulp can you believe it? I’m shocked at how fast this year has flown by.

I guess it’s not going to come as a surprise to you guys when I say I love pop culture, and so when I got a request for a Blinky the 3 eyed fish from The Simpson’s I was very excited to get started on him. So excited I got carried away……… I just loved how he turned out and I hope the requester does too ( thanks for the request Sher). I am hoping to have at least a few of them for the upcoming shows but of course I’ll list them in the shop too. I’m loving the Bazaar Bizarre poster and oooooh look at the craftacular poster With posters like that I can’t wait for the shows.

Tough economic times have caused one school in Ireland to ask students to bring their own toilet paper. Parents received the following request last week from principal Catherine O’Neill : Dear parent, from time to time we will request your daughter to bring in a toilet roll to her class teacher. These rolls will be specifically for your daughter’s class and will be dispensed by the class teacher

Irish Students Asked to Bring Their Own Toilet Paper to School
Unless you are lucky enough to send your child to a school with organic lunches and a farm to school program, you probably pack your child’s lunch. We’ve reviewed numerous lunch boxes and lunch systems, but in the end, I usually just grab random items and throw then together in my hurried mornings. Despite my haphazard lunch packing routines, I am really excited about the Munchgear Soup to Nuts Kit (so are my kids who are fighting over who gets to use it tomorrow

http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/11/07/the-effects-of…e-for-childrenthe-effects-of-climate-change-are-worse-for-children/ Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) issued a report declaring that children are especially at risk from the effects of climate change. This news is not startling, as young children are more susceptible to heat, toxins, etc., because their bodies are smaller and their immune systems are under development

http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/11/08/sippy-cups-bab…ottles-and-bpasippy-cups-baby-bottles-and-bpa/ Many parents are concerned about the presence of Bisphenol-A (BPA) in plastic baby bottles and sippy cups. Previously, we have written several posts on the subject, as the potential negative effects of this endocrine-disrupting hormone found in many plastics is alarming .

http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/11/12/is-the-consume…oing-their-jobis-the-consumer-product-safety-commission-doing-their-job/ Even before the recent flurry of children’s toy recalls , I questioned the effectiveness of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) when they failed to act on the presence of lead in children’s lunchboxes . The news has only gotten worse, since I wrote about it last February

My family recently played with three of these products

"Green" Toys From the Discovery Channel Store
http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/11/14/think-ets-toy-…aginative-playthink-ets-toy-trinkets-for-imaginative-play/ I believe that the only toys worthy of children’s play are ones that inspires their imagination (and are eco-friendly). Just by their nature, open-ended toys are more sustainable, as children do not rapidly outgrow them or get bored quickly

http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/11/19/green-kids-holiday-gift-guidegreen-kids-holiday-gift-guide/ You may be thinking, “Oh no, not another gift guide”, but I have been inspired by Z Recs , The Not Quite Crunchy Parent , and Treehugger to create an Eco Child’s Play Green Kids Holiday Gift Guide . The following recommendations are highlights of our product reviews over the past year (click on the title of each recommendation to get to the full review post). All of these products have been played with by my family, thus these are not the gifts I am getting my children this winter, as these new toys have not been tested.

http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/11/26/alternative-en…en-fuel-rocketalternative-energy-hydrogen-fuel-rocket/ This holiday season, the Discovery Channel Store is offering toys that are fueled with hydrogen . Our family tested out the rocket ship, which is made by Estes Rockets . The Hydrogen Fuel Rocket is designed for children ages 10 and up (adult supervision required under 12), thus I had Eco Dad test it out.

Browsing around on Etsy the other day I saw these cute egg cups From the Peacock and the Pearl . I knew instantly what I would do with them if I had them so after hmmmming and hawing for a bit I made the purchase. And here they are now……… I LOVE these guys so much I have become obsessed with finding more feet egg cups, which has become a quest of Arthurian measure as so far none that I have seen are really quite right, either the feet are too big or too small or the wrong colour or not as nice as these ones, so far none have been just right………maybe my name should be Goldilocks? Anyway for the moment I only have two chickens and 2 turkeys and I will of course add them to the shop

booooooo…. Did my lil’ Halloween ghosties scare you? They hope so, trouble is they are just too cute to be terrifying……poor guys. I made the ghosties for my batch of Octoberie goodies I’m working on in preparation for my fall show, I still have a few more ideas I want to work on but I am starting to feel good about my quantities of Autumnal offerings and I will of course add them to the shop today. This past weekend we went to Chicago for the Renegade craft fair. I was incredibly excited about this years show as one of the new vendors was someone who’s work I fell in love with about a year ago when I purchased some of his comic books at Quimby’s (a fantastic comic book store in Chicago). Anyway his name is Matthew Reidsma and he is awesome, so of course within 5 seconds of finding his booth I had pretty much blown my Renegade shopping money, but the original artwork I got is so super cool I’m sure I will be gushing about him for a long time to come

1. I really hate camping. Oh sure the barbecuing outdoors and looking at the stars late at night are terrific fun……….but the sleeping in the tent in the dark woods with no running water, and is that rain? why yes it is………not so much……..and don’t get me started on the porta potties 2. Grown men in lycra stops being funny and starts to get icky after about 5 minutes. I don’t think I need to say anything more really…….
