I have tapped into it many times already. Using it is the best way to discover what it can do for you. And every time I look at it, it seems to have grown larger and richer. Thanks for your wonderful work!!! Now more people need to discover it.

If anyone knows anything about them, I’d like to know more. A GREAT must-see VIDEO!

My name is Patty and I have designed and built gardens in Philadelphia for fourteen years. My deepest wish is to be a part of transforming the vacant lots in Philadelphia, starting with the poorest, most neglected and most crime ridden and moving out from there! You can imagine the delight I saw in finding you and your vision and your connections! Fantastic.

Access to fresh, free food will take us to the next step of self-sufficiency & break us from the cycle of dependency we have on the government & fossil fuel-guzzling corporate food system.

As a potter, weaver and spinner I tell people this all the time! I think a studio art course should be a requirement at the college level. A course that every 6 weeks covers something different. (Fiber, clay, mosaic, print) There is so much more to it then the average person sees! The value of handcrafted items would FINALLY be seen for what it is.

(I found your post via Lisa’s Ravelry post!)
