Don't miss our 28 Day Tranquil Home Declutter Challenge! Start anytime, anywhere!
When I found out the Creative Craft Bloggers Challenge for August was “Back to School” I had to laugh. It’s been almost 10 years since I’ve had to buy school supplies for anyone in my family. But it turns out there’s a surprising amount of overlap between the stuff a student uses and the stuff a…
I have yet to master the “perfect pack” when we travel, but after a couple trips hauling around overly heavy bags, I’ve learned a few tricks. One of my favorite tips is to make use of pouches and zippered bags to organize items and make them easier to find. Here’s how I made my set of coordinated…
Hey there! Were you able to go out and knit in public on Saturday? I’ve been working on the Grrlfriend bag from Ravelry and finished it this weekend. Unfortunately, when I got to the event in Valladolid I found I left my phone on the charger so I was unable to take any photos (D’oh!). At…

This cute and quick drawstring bag is just the ticket to hold small items like earplugs. It was so much fun to make I worked a second one to hold my loose change! These little bags are just the thing for gift giving…or for stashing your own treasures.
This E-Reader Pillow from Laws of Gravity is a fun project and a great stash buster. You’ll only need a skein of worsted weight yarn and when the project is finished you’ll have something to hold your phone, tablet or e-reader upright while you use it.
