13 Steps to a Healthy Lifestyle by Norma Budden
Having a healthy lifestyle seems being a trend nowadays but even while we all would like to have a healthy way of life, it's not easy to do. Since we have a day job, kids to take care of, time to spend on our charities or other activities, we're almost always running here and there and don't have time to focus on stuff like knowing if what we do is good for us. In summary, living healthy is easier to say than to do... But what if you would have a list of 13 steps to a healthy lifestyle? Norma Budden built a lens that will teach you the easiest 13 steps to take for having a healthy lifestyle.


How to Join Granny Squares by  HSSchulte
I have two left hands, do you? I'm a zero in sewing, crocheting, quilting, etc. Really. This is the reason why I appreciated this tutorial that teaches how to join granny squares. Have to say that I love tutorials and more when they come with pictures that show you how to do things. And HSSchulte built a short but really detailed page on how to join granny squares ; and since Springtime is about to come you could design a nice vest with such squares and follow HSSchulte's instructions on how to join them all together.


Joseph Cornell by lensmaster clemency
I came across this really nice Joseph Cornell tribute lens and liked it a lot. It's short but detailed, with necessary information, nothing's left aside and there's nothing unnecessary. It teaches you everything you have to know about the American artist Joseph Cornell and for those who know and liked him, it's a real gem. For those who ignore who was Joseph Cornell, it's a great resource!


My Experience In the Stained Glass Business by Andy-Smith
Besides tutorials, a type of lenses I particularly like are those that talk through lives. And lensmaster Andy-Smith built this Squidoo page that relates to his experience in the stained glass business. He talks about everything: how he came to teach how to work stained glass, how he had to cope with design stealers, and much more. YOu'll even have an overview of his creations and I have to say that I was really impressed by their quality! A must-see lens!


Thomas Alexander - A Black History Month tribute (Part I) by lensmaster _Joan_
This lensmaster talks through the way her father lived in changing America. Oh, yes... let's start by the beginning. Joan is an African-American, and so is her father. And his father experienced the way America dealt with Black people; from his native town to the one he settled, from the well-known sit-ins... It's part one of an interesting story that you should read. And I definitely hope for more.


Multiple Sclerosis - A Story of Strength and Courage by babylovetees
Lensmaster babylovetees built a lens that walks you through the story of her daughter - Jena - who is dealing with multiple sclerosis. In Multiple Sclerosis - A Story of Strength and Courage explains how her daughter was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis ; but she also showcases a nice store with marvelous accessories decorated with Jena's paintings, and finishes the lens with some kind of "happy end" as Jena just met the love of her life.
