Welcome to Homemade from the Heart.  

I am attempting to create and live like the Proverbs 31 Woman from the bible.  An astonishing feat I know, but one in which I'm motivated to do. I am the Martha Stewart of the Bible.....a more appropriate way to define myself I believe.  I'm a designer and artist by nature......so as I'm learning and growing I'm sharing with you my experience and my Etsy store and products that come out of all the creativity.

Join me as I create, learn and share with you what it means to live healthy, creatively and Godly all at the same time.  My desire is to live beautifully which translates living naturally.  I plan to show you gardening ideas (container gardens because I am not a true gardener), decorating from your garden and cost effective ways to decorate and re-purpose items which includes making tablescapes, wreaths and small furniture.  I'm not quite that good at doing large pieces....I'm a work in progress.

So what does re-purposing mean? Re-purposing is just a fancy way of saying, "learn to use what you got, improvise the rest and be happy."
I show recipes for healthy eating and fresh cooking ideas--maybe even pics of my cooking.  I'll discuss what makes a healthy home environment, the using of green cleaners and homemade cosmetics, through videos, pics and links.  Gotta keep you abreast of what other people are doing.  Ideas are broadening.
All this in one blog you ask? Yes, and I might add in sewing for the home and crocheting.......Whew, I'm tired just writing about it.  It's a lot, even mammoth but they are all passions, truly a labor of love--that's the reason for my blog title "Homemade from the Heart."
These are ALL things I love and love to do.

Finally, I will showcase the classes I'm teaching at the library and the sustainable and re-purposed art I'm creating as I learn.  The pics you see to the right are of my re-purposed t-shirt jewelry.  I added a little bling, bling to make it stand out.

Thank you for following my blog and here's to happy greening, and healthy living--living a wonderful and beautiful life.

    Very interesting. You have a presence - inviting, sincere, comforting.

Yep I know, if you have a blog you should at least write in it once a week or so not a year later.  Well at least there's no blog police or I'd be in big trouble.....at least I don't think so (she says this as she looks over her shoulders)....I have plenty of excuses:  I didn't have anything to write about; too busy.....okay not cool but I'm sticking with it. Anyhoo, I have some good news.  I'm now teaching Dabble  classes.  What is Dabble you say?  Just the coolest webspace around.  Dabble allows you to create classes that you're good at, love and would like to share with others.  I'm a teacher at heart and always will be but I wanted to change the direction of my teaching and I think I've landed on a good one Houston....LOL. Thank you to those who have been waiting forever for content, and for those of you who have long forgotten me, shame on you....well, no, I think it's my fault....no writing and no marketing. These things take ti

This Art Life is a Challenge-but I'm Movin Forward

Haven't communicated with your guys in a long time so I need to give many updates. What's the 411.....well, the hope is I'll be crafting now for JoAnn Fabrics.  I'm excited.  I'll be doing beginning classes but it's a great start, such as  sewing, crocheting and even jewelry making.  I've also been involved lately with the CPL Innovation Lab.  The classes are free and use digital imaging to carve 3D models of images via laser intensive machines.  I'm also taking classes at Lurie Gardens.  My first one is Candle-making Inspired by Nature.  I'm still working it out at the Center for Green Technology and their upcoming classes.  You can never learn too much, another one of my motto's.  Finally, I'm planning on teaching how to create unique and original tablescapes for the holidays at the Library and I'm involved in another free art project with the Woman Made Gallery. My most prized accomplishment is the picture I'm making for my da
