eThreads Has Closed Up Shop
Dear friends and loyal customers,
As of January 1, 2017, eThreads has closed up shop and is no longer producing bags. We have been making custom bags since 2006 and served thousands of happy customers. In the last ten years, I have also completed my graduate degree, wrote a book, got hitched, had a baby, and embarked on a new career coaching entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses (learn more at emilyworden.com). With life pointing in so many different directions, I made the difficult decision to close eThreads and focus more on helping other entrepreneurs succeed.
If you have an outstanding gift certificate, we have reached out to you to help redeem it. If you received a message from us please reply to contact@elementalthreads.com and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Thank you for all the kind wishes, happy messages, and bountiful smiles. It has been a true joy to connect with each of you and bring your designs to life.
Very best wishes,
Emily Worden
Founder, eThreads.com

Food Fun: Easy Fillo Cup Recipes

Raspberry & Brie on the left. Goat cheese, caramelized onions, and thyme on right. OMG yes more please.
We recently celebrated the husband’s birthday with an amazing potluck dinner. I was in charge of bringing an app and dessert.
I’m a huge fan of those small fillo cups you find in the freezer. They’re about $2 for 15. I keep two boxes in my freezer at all times in case of unexpected guests. Fill the cups, bake them, done and delicious.
I tried two new recipes that night and they were so life changing I just had to share:
1) Raspberry & Brie: Fill the bottom of the cups with brie (about 1 tbsp) and top off with equal parts raspberry jam. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F and done.
2) Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onions & Thyme: Fill the bottom of the cups with a small spoonful of goat cheese (I found honey gouda goat cheese at Trader Joe’s – OMG heavenly). Sprinkle with a dash of dried thyme. Add a topping of caramelized onions. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F and done.
Honestly, the caramelized onions take the longest in all this – about a half hour to cook. I used 3/4 of an onion for 30 cups. While the onions are caramelizing you can prepare the raspberry & brie cups. Bake all the cups at the same time. Don’t know how to caramelize onions? It basically requires onions and a lot of butter. Here’s an easy recipe.
Do you need a quick dessert? Fill fillo cups with Nutella. I usually add mixed berries (fresh or frozen) to one half of the tray and peanut butter + a slice of banana on the other half. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F and done.
These recipes are a HUGE hit – they’re super tasty and easy to eat. There’s zillion more recipes for fillo cups, but I’m all about the easy ones that give me leftover cheese to eat.

I believe a clean space = a clean mind. It’s easier to think and be productive in a clean room, never mind a lot healthier.
Everyone is super busy though and it’s hard to keep up with a clean house. That’s why I loved these 10 easy tips from the Huffington Post about changing messy habits.
I especially love tips #7 and #8 about wiping down the sink and counters ’cause you KNOW kitties are all up in there. Especially our little one named Smoke:

Indie Artists: Got a Business Question for Me?
Friends, I’m writing a book about marketing & business secrets for the artist and crafter. It’s covering everything from starting a business to pricing your stuff to selling in stores. Anyone out there selling their art/craft or thinking about it? Any questions I could include in the book (and help answer here)? Thank you! (PS – this is a pic of my recent library haul … I LOVE the library more than I can adequately express.)
