You’ve finally done it; you’ve given into the craze and bought yourself a cricut (or any other brand, such as the Janome artistic edge). Don’t worry- I can promise it’s just as addicting as it looks, and certainly not as hard as it looks!

I'm A New Mom & Here's Why I Love My VoiceGift . Top Story - April 2021. Created with: VoiceGift.
Time is a gift. Lost time is never found. The only constant is time. Why is it that time is always characterized as something we passively receive? Is it because in this fast-paced world it can become so hard to take the time to slow down, enjoy the moment, and just be present?

Popularity Of Jute And Cotton Bags After Plastic Ban
Since our government has restricted the use of plastic bags, cotton and jute bags' popularity is gradually enhancing. One of the primary reasons why plastic bags and other plastic products were banned is because they had single-use. It means that you had to throw them away after use, leading to an increase in the amount of waste ending up in landfills. The government wanted to replace 'use and throw' products with 'mend and reuse' products. To meet the massive demand for jute and cotton bags, numerous manufacturers and exporters have cropped up all over the country.

Dr. Michael Estes | Restoring motorboats with passion
Hello readers! I am Dr. Michael Estes, a Lansing area doctor, a physician, a husband, a father, Owner of Intessa Marijuana Clinic in Okemos and a boat restoration enthusiast. Besides being a full-time Emergency Response Medicine Doctor and a general physician in different hospitals and medical institutions, I also crave beautiful aquatic rides like a motorboat. My zeal for boats and restoring vehicles and motorboats kicked in when I was pursuing my bachelor's in Biology and Physiology, along with a minor in Chemistry from the esteemed California State University, Long Beach, in 1999. I fairly remember those years when I used to devote all my leisure time to monthly boat magazines like yachting and wooden boats. My roommates and I were complete motor boat freaks and had bought tones of boat magazine subscriptions, but the fact all those subscriptions were bought under the name of Michael Estes grants me the real authority over those magazine piles (You hear that frank!). Those were the days when I was still an undergraduate, but today over the years have passed, but my affinity for yachts and motorboats has not even subsided by a bit. The gleaming beauties of the 90s, like the Albin 48 Cutter and Azimut 54 Flybridge, still get me to go head over heels when I gaze then.

Yarn is so pretty! How do I choose?
The first time I went to a store to pick out yarn for a project, I didn’t know how difficult it would be because of all of the options! I went by myself and I didn’t have friends that I knew of who were knitters and crocheters (I was also too shy to ask around), so I was mostly on my own for choosing the color, the weight, softness, and the type of yarn I was going to use. But, as a beginner crafter, those weren’t the terms I was using in my head. My criteria was Does it look pretty? Does it fit my budget (which, being a college student at the time, was as inexpensive as possible.)? My choice for my first project was a variegated light purple/white/dark purple. I brought it home, made a scarf for myself and, besides the lop-sidedness of it, I didn’t like it. Why? It was too rough and scratchy.* Since I had chosen my yarn based solely on color and price, the overall quality and fit for the project suffered. I didn’t know better and I’m here to provide some tips so that others aren’t as disappointed in their final products as I was.

PAINTING FOREVER
Art has made great progress because of the versatility and diversity it offers. It has been the primary medium of displaying your inner self using physical and metaphysical elements. The most intriguing thing about art is that every individual related to it has an idea of his own about the structure and norms inside the field. This is what makes it beautiful. This is what makes it last for millennia.
