Crazy Train Rider WoodNGoods

Let me just say, that I admire anyone who can create such lovely pieces of art from plain old wood. WoodNGoods uses scraps and leftovers from flooring stores and job sites to make her wonderful artwork. Those pieces would otherwise just be burnt. To keep the natural look of the wood, no coloring is used except for an occasional leather dye to add more depth to the piece.
So amazing is the talent of this soccer mom of four kids, that some of the designs have been featured in Scrollsaw Woodworking and Craft Magazine. These original, one of a kind ornaments and wall art are sure to be passed on from generation to generation. My favorite: the MooShoo Dragon Mirror found on Artfire.com.

Crazy Train's BrokenHallelujah

My first blog about a Crazy Train Rider, and I am so glad that it's BrokenHallelujah. I have been eyeballing her scarflettes since the first time I heard about her. Working retail for so many years, I have seen trends come and go, and these neck warmers are going to be the next big thing.

A self proclaimed "yarnoholic", this 22 year old chic is going places. She's been selling her designs for four years but won't sell her secret. Her patters are all original and she doesn't have any intentions of selling them at this time. Can you blame her?!
Aside from the scarflettes, you can find headbands, bookmarks, hats, and another one of my favorites: slippers. These slippers look super comfy and cozy.
