Henna is a fun natural way to experiment with body art. It’s also usually done by women, so it’s a great way to support a small business owner or businesswoman. It’s neat how it starts out like icing, dries, flakes off, is pretty light and then gets darker. I always enjoy my Mueller Neighborhood Association…

I have a new porch bin to collect for my neighbors: crafts and school/office supplies for Austin Creative Reuse. All my bins and bricks are donated/reused as is the duct tape.

We had gorgeous weather for this year’s Creation Care Fair hosted by Triumphant Love Lutheran Church. There is always such an amazing array of vendors to talk with and so many fun crafts for kids. I got to meet a real bat and took home a birdhouse and bee home for solitary bees. It was…
