http://www.victoria-e.com/ I think of myself as a creatively versatile eco-powerhouse. Freelance writer, life-long model, on-camera personality, official U.S. spokesperson for Twice Shy Clothing, and founder of the San Francisco Craft Mafia - I’m a classic Renaissance woman and mistress-of-all-trades. Perpetually looking for fresh ways to share my unquenchable green knowledge, I blog about everything eco on my own website, as well as for Green Options, Green Loop, and select others. Most recently, I have been hired by Building Green TV as a writer and web editor for their site. Also, my diverse articles have been published in variety of reputable magazines, such as: Yoga Journal, Venus, CRAFT, Yogi Times, Recovery Solutions, M+F, and Office Solutions. In my spare time, you can find me knitting, reading, singing, taking pictures, practicing yoga, taking long walks, and working on my first non-fiction book.

How one hand-knitted hoodie taught me about humanity

In the three months since I added my name to the Anthropologie mailing list, I've received four catalogs (Stitch Book, November 2007, Giving Book, and December 2007) in my mailbox. From a sustainable standpoint, one could see these happenings as an eco-nightmare, but I think of it more like visual heaven.

Though the latter three catalogs left me drooling and dizzy with ideas, the Stitch Book caught the bulk of my attention due to it being filled with ... stitched stuff! OK, let me be a bit more specific - the Stitch Book is full of sweaters of all shapes and sizes, all featuring impeccable knitted and crocheted designs.   Read more...

Rosa Parks

It's quite easy to get so caught up in all the holiday hub-bub that we forget about just how good our lives actually are. Being born and raised in the States has given me an unimaginable number of freedoms and a unique perspective on life. All in all, most of us have food to eat, a place to sleep, clothing to wear, a job to earn money, and loved ones that care about our wellbeing.

Just 52 years ago, things were different. It's more than difficult to fathom just how much our national culture has changed in this short time. It may not seem like a short period for humans, but the planet has been around for billions of years, so think of it that way.   Read more...
