A theory of the shop Handmade Habitat


Handmade is good for Mother Earth and good for the soul. Be a doll and support the artisan economy. Just trust me. But if you don’t, read why here

About me - I’m a recent college graduate. I studied Environmental Science. I run Handmade Habitat. I also work for an artisan crafts/antiques/imports market just outside of DC. Handmade is my life.</description><title>Handmade Hearts Earth</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @handmadeheartsearth)</generator><link>http://handmadeheartsearth.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>More book sculptures.

From Etsy’s...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu5kch49e51qj6hsoo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knit a sweater for a penguin! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From Etsy’s blog: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-15251319"&gt;recent oil spill&lt;/a&gt; on New Zealand’s coast has left the environment and wildlife in shambles — including the local blue penguin population. While volunteers are working hard to rescue and clean the animals in the region, they require a little bit of crafty help: tiny sweaters, or penguin pajamas, for the rescued birds. These woolen sweaters keep oil-soaked birds warm until they’re well enough to be cleaned and prevent them from ingesting oil from their feathers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in donating a penguin sweater, New Zealand yarn store Skeinz has provided a handy how-to and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.skeinz.com/Newsletters/spring2011.html"&gt;is organizing the donation efforts&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
