Let’s just establish right off the bat that I’m not a painter, ok? Still, I had some fun assembling the supplies for my project and learning how to use the Cricut to create my first paint and vinyl project.
My dual quest to improve my yarn skillz and reduce my yarn stash continues with today’s post. The challenge? Learn how to read a crochet chart and make use of some colorful cotton blend yarns.
When I was a tween knitting spools were very popular. Some kids had the fancy ones that looked like dolls, others had wooden spools (yes, it was that long ago) with small nails as the pegs. We spent hours wrapping yarn around the pegs and creating foot after foot of knitted cord. Back then it…
I had nearly an entire ball of yarn left from another project and decided to make a Zig Zag scarf for this month’s Craft Room Destash Challenge. The pretty textured stitch pattern is called Zig Zag Rib and I learned about it from Musings of a Yarn Mom. It works well with a firm worsted…
I don’t fuss much with makeup but I do have some and wear it on a regular basis. I needed a place to not only store it, but also make it convenient to use. I recently made a couple storage boxes using recycled materials to organize my cosmetics and decorated them with washi tape. Making…
As far as crafting goes, it doesn’t get much easier than winding some glittery cord around a glass votive holder. It probably took me longer to assemble the materials than it did to make these easy decorated votives.
I have a red and white theme going on for the holidays this year and I’m excited to share these knitted patterns with you, plus a few more projects in the coming weeks. All of the projects are free to download from the generous community at Ravelry. None of these projects are out of reach…
I’ve mentioned before how much I’ve enjoyed watching Orphan Black the science fiction series from BBC America and Netflix. While it’s taken the show 5 seasons to tell the story, the actual timeline of the events portrayed is around a year, maybe a year and a half. Since the show is set in Canada, the…
On the last Monday of each month, a group of bloggers participate in a #MovieMondayChallenge, hosted by C’mon Get Crafty! We decide on a topic, genre, or specific movie to use for inspiration and everyone gets free reign to create something wonderful! This month’s challenge was. . . . Fall Movies. Everyone was allowed to…
A new month means a new challenge from the Creative Craft Bloggers Group. This time around it’s Fall Recipes. I have a delicious roasted cauliflower with tahini and lemon side dish that’s served up on a pile of knit leaves.
It’s Movie Monday again and this month’s challenge was Halloween movies. I chose Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow, the 1999 retelling of Washington Irving’s classic tale. Johnny Depp stars as Ichabod Crane a constable from New York City who comes to the village of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of gruesome murders. Christina Ricci stars…
When I was in Maryland this Spring my sister and I worked on making a grapevine swag for her porch. It turned out really nice! The grapevines came from an area of her garden that she cleared, making this project a good candidate for the Monthly Craft Room Destash Challenge.
