A friend of mine just turned me on to a fantastic glass artist, Anja Ishording, that specializes in casting and all we can say is, “How does she do it?” You may ask that same question…or just look and enjoy. Her work has a sea form quality to it. The pieces look like they could live at a coral reef or on the bottom of the ocean. Maybe you saw it in a garden somewhere. This stuff is gorgeous. Look at the work. Learn about her. Enjoy!

Etsy Spotlight: Wayfarer Shoes PDF Sewing Pattern Review
Ever dreamed of sewing your own shoes? I recently stumbled across this Wayfarer Shoes Adult PDF Sewing Pattern on Etsy, and it instantly caught my eye—not just for the sleek and casual design, but for the practicality of being able to make something so unique and wearable right from home!
This pattern is clearly laid out and beginner-friendly, with step-by-step photo instructions that make it feel more like a cozy afternoon craft session than a daunting DIY project. The design is surprisingly versatile—you can use canvas, denim, or even upcycle fabric scraps to make something truly personal. And let’s talk comfort: the finished shoes are flexible and perfect for indoor lounging or quick errands. It’s the kind of project that makes you feel a little extra crafty and a lot proud.
What I really love is that it’s a digital download, so you can get started immediately—no waiting around for shipping. Plus, it makes for a fantastic handmade gift idea (think Mother’s Day, birthdays, or even matching family sets!).
If you’re looking to stretch your sewing skills beyond clothes and bags, this is the perfect weekend project to try. It’s practical, stylish, and just quirky enough to say, “Yes, I made these myself!” .
