Organic Living: Going Organic and Green and Crafty

I've updated my About the Author section to reflect my new preoccupations. The act of transforming one's household from a rather unenvironmental one to an organic green one is quite a lofty task but I have been up for the challenge.

Unlike other blogs that tend to stick to one subject, I prefer to modify mine according to my interests at a particular time in my life. It's easier for me to manage and gives a better sense of continuity for anyone who reads my blog.

It's been a year and a half since I've stopped work and writing professionally but have found joy in raising my sweet son, perfecting my cooking, exercising my interior decoration skills, and most recently, picking up crafting cloth dolls.

PhotobucketI love working with my hands. A few nights ago while pondering where to buy organic cotton to make stuffed dolls for my son instead of buying commercial ones, I stumbled upon Molly Sketchbook where she reviewed The Cute Book. The next day I ran to Kinokuniya to buy it, as well as Aranzi Aronzo Cute Dolls (Let's Make Cute Stuff), and Aranzi Aronzo Fun Dolls (Let's Make Cute Stuff). I acquired the materials a day after, after careful reading and photocopying of patterns. That night, I sat by the lamplight and made my first bunny. Jack loved it and he's requested for a blue car. :)

Change is good.
