For those battling autoimmune disease or thyroid conditions—or just seeking healthy life balance—the voice behind the popular blog Feed Me Phoebe shares her yearlong investigation of what truly made her well.  After she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in her early twenties, Phoebe Lapine felt overwhelmed by her doctor’s strict protocols and confused when they directly conflicted with information on the bestseller list. After experiencing mixed results and a life of deprivation that seemed unsustainable at best, she adopted 12 of her own wellness directives—including eliminating sugar, switching to all-natural beauty products, and getting in touch with her spiritual side—to find out which lifestyle changes truly impacted her health for the better. The Wellness Project is the insightful and hilarious result of that year of exploration—part memoir and part health and wellness primer (complete with 20 healthy recipes), it’s a must-read not just for those suffering from autoimmune disease, but for anyone looking for simple ways to improve their health without sacrificing life’s pleasures.

Combat Black Dog Syndrome worldwide; a portion of all proceeds from Black Dog Project will be donated to black dog rescue.One of Tumblr's most viral blogs of 2014, the Black Dogs Project is a stunning photo series by animal photographer Fred Levy. Known as "Black Dog Syndrome" in animal shelters and rescues, it refers to the unfortunate phenomenon that black dogs are frequently the LAST dogs to be adopted and the FIRST dogs to be euthanized in rescue shelters. Animal photographer Fred Levy couldn't believe that it was true, so he began talking with shelters. Not only does the phenomenon exist, but he discovered it's an epidemic. Levy decided to turn his camera lens to black dogs, showing the world how beautiful they truly are. He called the photo series, The Black Dogs Project, and the stunning photographs have been shared worldwide, spreading awareness and attention to the problem. A portion of all proceeds for Black Dogs Project will be donated to labradors and friends.

In 2009, Leah Day started a blog with the goal of 365 new free motion quilting designs. Over the next two and a half years, she shared each design with photos and a video tutorial on her blog, The Free Motion Quilting Project. This book is a compilation of all 365 designs, organized in the order they were originally posted to the project. Flipping through this book, you'll find each design illustrated with clear, high quality photos. Each design is known as a "filler" design, which means they can fill your quilts in a continuous line without breaking thread. Fillers are also unique in the fact that you do not have to mark your quilt top before stitching the design. Each design is governed by a simple set of rules you can easily memorize, much like cursive writing, and then quilt over any area of your quilt. No, this book is not an elementary primer on free motion quilting, but a unique collection of photos designed to excite and inspire you. Stitch the designs exactly as they are shown
