The Soolip Fix

Isabella’s Art has these whimsical and fairy tale laser cut paper shadow puppets and I love them! They take me right back to childhood and make me want to get out the flashlights and make a blanket fort!

Look at what I found on the Creature Comforts blog! I absolutely LOVE these fabric pom pom flower clothespins. What a sweet idea! Click here for the full tutorial:

Waiting for your garden to grow can be slow, so I like this idea from How Does She. Try making paper flowers lined with other plantable flower seeds and “plant” them in bare spots in your garden. By the time they decompose, the seeds will have dropped in the bed and started to grow as well!

I really like this smart design concept aimed at making consumers more aware of the need for sustainability and wise use of our resources. Hemlock Printer, Frogfile Office Supplies and Grays Harbor Paper came up with a design for their 100% post consumer waster copy paper reams that featured a wrapper with origami: if you cut out and folded the wrapper, it formed a tree. If you stacked the reams, their wrapper designs formed a tree. And if you stacked the cardboard boxes used to store 10 packs, the graphics on their sides formed a tree trunk. I can picture offices with little forests of trees lined up from all the used paper reams and it’s an inspiring picture. Maybe each of us would think a second longer before printing out something unnecessarily with that little forest looking back at us!
