About
I am Kathy and I live in Western New York State. I started Eclectic Lamb in July of 2011 as an assignment for a masters level class in Social Media. This blog is to share my love of making and exploring new things. I love having an archive of past projects. I just wish that I had started this many years ago.
I feature many categories but my current focus is on bento lunches, embroidery, and party planning. If you want help with party planning, contact me. I am always looking for a party to plan.
I enjoy crafting but tend to be a holiday crafter. Please enter a holiday name into my search box to see if I created something for that holiday yet.
I am a vegetarian and feature vegetarian food on this blog. I enjoy making mostly Americanized bentos for my nieces, nephews, husband, and anyone else who wants to eat an often cute and healthy lunch.

Thanks for ‘liking’ my post; I think you’ll enjoy some more of my vegan and vegetarian recipes.
I would love to see your needlework! I used to do a lot and hoped to get back, but that will have to wait a while.
I was not familiar with the term ‘bento’ until I read your blog; thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for stopping by our blog and liking my pumpkin soup post. My daughter would certainly love to open her lunch box and find one of your lunches or attend one of your birthday parties. There is so much to learn from you!
Take care,
