I'm so proud to work for a company that believes in giving back. By teaming up with Home Depot and community members, tomorrow we will transform a dreary space into a beautiful garden that will be shared by surrounding apartments, a school, and a senior center. Local horticulturists will also use the space for ongoing training. The best part is that even our president will be working beside us in the dirt!

Gingher Glory
We have done some major remodeling in our building, and I found a few pairs of these beautiful Gingher scissors. I also have the matching embroidery scissors. Tell me about your next sewing project, and I'll choose a couple random winners to receive new scissors for the job!
Making a Castle (again)
I still get lots of hits on the blog post about the castle my son made for his social studies project, and now it is two years later, so we have my daughter's version. She was quite excited to start this project in our craft room, and she was thrilled to have access to all my Fiskars tools. You probably recognize the Greek Key border punch that she used to create the decorative edge along the tops. She also used the Banners 2 Shape Template and Ultra ShapeXpress to cut out the flags she embossed with the stamp press and silver embossing powder. The whole castle is constructed out of foam core she cut to size with the craft knife and sponge painted with the gray blocks. Of course, no castle would be complete without a few squeeze punched flowers. We love projects!
