A Victorian RV
Since I was 14 I dreamed of buying an old bus, restoring it and transforming it into my own traveling home, so when I stumbled across this surprising Steampunk project it got me so excited!
Steampunk Workshop – A Victorian RV
Rolling Homes
I’ve heard lots of wonderful things about this book which was first published in ’79 but is sadly out of print these days and has become an expensive collectors item. Tomorrow I will be posting a fantastic project that was inspired by the book, but in the mean time, check out this review which posts all sorts of gorgeous interior and exterior shots of different rolling homes like this one:
and even more photos on Amazon!
James of GypsyTrailers.com makes beautiful custom gypsy wagons to order in the USA. Check out his gallery – such beautiful craftsmanship!

Your place to buy and sell all things handmade

These are all my absolute favourite things. Click each square and press the “buy for miss wakame” button:
Crochet tips anyone?
Okay, I’ve finished my knitted blanket and now I want to crochet a wide border around the edges. I dont want anything too frilly or fussy though. Can anyone recommend some really good “learn to crochet” sites and perhaps some more with amazing patterns around the same quality as knitty.com?
I ♥ men who can knit!
Reuters: If you’re stuck for entertainment in New York on a Friday night, and as long as you’re man enough, try learning to rib at “Boyz Nite” at a Greenwich Village venue from 9 until late.
Knit New York, a wool and craft store in Lower Manhattan, is fighting the stereotype that knitting is the province of women. “Are you strong enough to knit and man enough to purl?” says an advertisement for Boyz Nite on the shop’s Web site. A sign on the street outside invites passersby to come in and bring their own beer: “Boyz Nite. 9 pm – ?? BYOB.”
The store draws dozens of men to its weekly men’s night where beginners and experts gather to exchange tips over beer and hot dogs. (more…)
My favourite little boutique shop
I remember falling in love the minute I laid my eyes on Remus’ dreamlike window display. The prettiest objects I had ever seen were suspended on thin air above a magickal garden. I felt myself being pulled inside through irresistable scents and visions into a tiny little world of perfection. Each item inside has been carefully selected on tiny orders of sometimes just two or three from various artists and craftsmen around the world. And as renowned as Brighton is for its unusual boutique and gift shops, you won’t find Eikonoclast items anywhere else in Brighton. Remus hunts high and low to find the most exquisite and exclusive items. Most of the time I just pass by to press my nose up against his pristine windows and see which new visual treat he has created. The man is a genius when it comes to aesthetics and creates the best window displays you will ever see. And don’t get me started on his crystal jewellery…
Some of my favourite items: Subtle and traditional Japanese incense, Mariage Fr̬res Рthe most delicious range of teas you will ever taste, notebooks covered in silk from wedding kimonos, screen printed orchid lampshades.
But please don’t stop here… take a peek inside! (more…)

There are some real gems to be found on this site. Note: the navigation runs along the bottom in case you miss it.
Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
