Give it to me Raw

Well, it's been a while since I've been here. I fell off the raw wagon, but have been keeping ir ACE and have been converting my steak-loving husband into a whole foods vegan.

Months ago I started a thread on here that took on a life of it's own about what we all do for a living. At the time I was a trainer for a financial software company, but some things have changed in the last few months. Last Nov I got laid off from my cushy but soul-sucking corporate job and since then have started following one of my dreams to be a professional crafter. I haven't made a profit yet, but I'm loving being at home with my little ones and it doesn't feel like work. Yesterday while playing around with some of my tools, my 5 yr old said, "Mom, your job is cool! Maybe someday I can work with you." He never said that when I was teaching people how to sell software.

So, aside from renewing the wonderful friendships that I found here last year, I wanted to tell you all about a new product that I just posted. I made this bag with raw foodists in mind. It's an upcycled fruit bag that will hold up to 5 lbs of fruit or veggies. It's earth friendly and holds enough fruit for most of us for the day.

Here's a link for more pics and details. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23707055


If nothing else I would love to hear your feedback.
thanks,
M

Looks inventive and useful. I'd like to design and manufacture a few things myself.

Have at it, Kiani. It's incredibly satisfying designing and finishing something, and there are bunches of places like etsy and artfire and of course local craft shows where you can sell it.

That is an awesome bag! Thank you for creating something from your heart. I am going to post this on my site as well. Love it!

The way I see it is that generally people who label themselves are confident of the path they have chosen while,also generally, people don't don't label aren't quite as sure if what they're following is the right way to go.

things that have actually worked for me: Valerian root for tea - very calming... Lemon juice, sliced lemon peel, lemon grass or lemon verbina, raw honey, star anise (optional), maybe some ginger, hot water (let it all infuse together for a while) ...
