Spring spirals...

handiworkingirls rag rug circular t shirt rainbow blue purple pink artisan knitted


Our very latest custom creation - a circular t-shirt rug - consists of a multitude of bright shades spinning into an almost perfect spiral. The mixture of blue, purple, pink, green, black, gray, and white turns a simple floorcovering into an eye-covering accent for your kitchen or living room. The thickness of the t-shirts gives your toes a welcome respite from the cold, hard floor! And with the aid of a front-loading washer, the rug also helps reduce the accumulation of indoor allergens - always a plus for those of us with sensitive noses.

Sometimes the truth ain’t easy to find...

Black and white forms a crisp canvas for our newest treasury. To coincide with the lyrics of Sanctus Real's "These Things Take Time," we added accents of copper and aqua. The deep yet natural color palette, artisan-made products, and the succinct song lyrics will (hopefully) provide an encouraging moment to your morning.

'And I wonder why...' by HandiworkinGirls

I wanna know why pain makes me stronger I wanna know why good men die Why am I so afraid of the dark? But I stray from the light I wanna know why You gave me eyes When faith is how I see And tell me Is it easier to doubt Or harder to believe

Oh there’s so many questions stirring in me
And I wonder why
Sometimes the truth ain’t easy to find
I wanna know all the answers
But I’m learning that
These things take time
Yeah, these things take time

It's brighter when it's you and I...

 Rainbow brights from the CAST team pair perfectly with Chris August's song "You and I" in our latest treasury. With adorable baby clothes, retro headbands, and boldly colored jewelry, there are plenty of pieces for your perusing pleasure.

'Put your smile on...' by HandiworkinGirls

Put your smile on Today is gonna save us Let the bridge down The sun is gonna wake us 'Cause somebody's been Messing around with me And I don't know But I'm, I'm thinking maybe
We can run in the summer, the hotter weather's
Always cooler when we're together
The sun is brighter when it shines from the sky
Down to you and I, down to you and I
It's brighter when it's you and I
You and I

This is where the healing starts...

To make a bold splash back into our treasury creating, we choose purple as the color for our treasury titled "The light meets the dark...," after one of our favorite albums by Tenth Avenue North. We mixed a variety of purple shades from pale lavender to deep aubergine with just a hint of white, and it picks up the light and dark perfectly.

'The light meets the dark... ' by HandiworkinGirls

So you thought you had to keep this up All the work that you do So we think that you're good And you can't believe it's not enough All the walls you built up Are just glass on the outside
So let 'em fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
