I met her and saw her work at Craft Boston a few years ago, and have four of her water tumblers, which are tall, handle-less drinking cups. Her work is absolutely beautiful, and inclu...

One of my favorite gluten-free desserts at this time of year is a simple fruit tart. Make a crumble crust with crushed gluten-free cookies (mi-del makes ginger snaps that are perfect f...

I'm gluten-free as well, but I'm lucky to live about a mile from a fantastic health food store that has the best gluten-free selection around. I only go there about twice a month though, mostly to ...

I agree with wesaturtle that the "camping recipes" link was very disappointing. I thought it was linked to the wrong page when it first came up... I'd love to see some actual camping r...

kimg924 - canning tomatoes is pretty easy. The Ball Blue Book of Preserving is a great resource and has a picture guide on canning tomatoes. You can often get the jars at thrift stores, too. ...

I have a perpetual categorical list on my fridge. it's a pad by RealSimple that I got a Target last year and has common items pre-printed with checkboxes, plus lines for additions. It's been so hel...

I use fiber-reactive dye like procion dyes. you can get them in bulk depending on how much you need and you can also dye in the washing machine. The colors bind to the fiber and don't run. mrs yow'...

We're turning our garage into studio space as well, but because of poorly-planned plumbing above (the kitchen renovation done by the previous owners put the kitchen sink directly above the garage d...

The kindergarten teachers at the school where I worked last year did something similar in the hallway with post-its, but in a star shape. Each one had a quote from a child about something they were...

millet is delicious. But teff, used in injera, is a different grain. It is much, much smaller than millet. They are both very nutritious grains, and millet makes a good couscous or barley substitut...

I make turnips (and radishes, or the awesome harukei turnips in early summer) similar to art, above. Sautee in a butter/olive oil mixture, then add wine, vinegar, and maybe a bit of sugar or ...

We'll be enjoying the last fresh veggies from our summer CSA, which ends next week: Brussels sprouts, kombucha and butternut squash, kohlrabi... I'll probably also make a pot roast and plum cake.

I started sewing when I was 5 with my grandmother. I definitely recommend a real machine. A used simple machine would probably cost the same (or less!) as this toy, and with younger children you'd ...

A good source for fabric right now is the Fabric Place (Woburn and Framingham.) They're sadly going out of business, but are selling most fabric at 50% off (or more) and will likely be closed for g...

I agree with wishingstardesigns. I'm also a former art teacher, and one of the first projects I'd do with my youngest students is cutting fringe in construction paper. It always amazed me how many ...

pie, absolutely. I am not so fond of cakes for breakfast, though, unless they're heavy on fruit, like plum cake.

cinnamon. just a little bit adds a lovely note to savory dishes. also - renee c.f., I love the Marie Sharp's hot sauce. Do you know where I can get more in the states or online? My bot...

I've seen some bunny condos built from the neat idea cubes (as posted by sneakers above.) That's a great cheaper alternative to the Bunny Abode. We use wood stove pellets in our bunnies' litter box...

We have a Bunny Abode for our two rabbits, Duncan and Boo. They LOVE it! It really is designed for the bunnies' needs and gives them enough space to stretch when they're in. They're well made, look...

love it!
