Don't miss our 28 Day Tranquil Home Declutter Challenge! Start anytime, anywhere!
This month’s Creative Crafty Bloggers Challenge was to update a thrifted item. Instead of purchasing something here I decided to use a set of brooches I wore when I was a young lass and Madonna was popular. I have had them tucked away in my jewelry box for ages and they meant enough to me…
The bloggers at Movie Monday have chosen the one movie that has defined Summer since the 1970s…Jaws. Both the book and the movie were terrifying when they first came out…the music, the suspense, the HUGE shark! It’s no wonder the entire series of movies is replayed on cable every year. There are over 400 species…
So, I took my overhead camera mount for a spin the other day and created a video for Emily Ocker’s Circular Cast On. It’s a great knitting cast on for projects like blankets worked from the center our or hats worked from the top down. I needed to use it in order to start my…
With a little thread, some beads and a crochet hook you can make one or a dozen colorful crochet bracelets perfect for wearing with Summer fashions. Dig in your stash, I’ll bet you have almost everything you need to make them.
This month’s Creative Craft Bloggers Challenge has the theme Red, White or Blue. I decided to revisit a fun origami craft from Christmas, folding paper stars.
This month’s #MovieMonday theme was Wedding Movies. One of my favorites is Monsoon Wedding, the 2001 film centered around an elaborate wedding ceremony in India. The film is loaded with gorgeous color and texture and I attempted to recreate the atmosphere with Monsoon Wedding inspired wall art.
This month’s #CraftRoomDestashChallenge features a baby afghan made from reclaimed yarn. It’s been almost a year, but I finally finished the baby afghan my daughter asked for. I started before my grandson was born. He’s now 7 months old (!).
This month’s Creative Craft Blogger’s Theme is Camping/Outdoors. I haven’t been camping since my children were in middle school. Once I had all of the equipment it was a cheap way to get away for a weekend. Rick hates camping. He says he got plenty of that in the army, hahaha. So the most outdoorsy…
The latest incarnation of Wonder Woman hits the theaters on June 2 and the bloggers of the Movie Monday Challenge Group are excited! I wasn’t able to make a project this month, but I came across a ton of fun crafts on Pinterest, including this image which I am in love with. See if you…
Most of the time we use fabric bags for our shopping, but we do seem to collect plastic bags regardless. I have to admit they’re handy for lining small trash cans among other uses. Until recently, I didn’t have a convenient place to store the half dozen or so plastic bags that seem to have…
This month the Creative Craft Bloggers Group Challenge is about photography. For this challenge I dipped my toe into the world of macro photography. I would have loved to jump in, but a good quality macro lens is a bit pricey. Instead, my son told me about macro tubes (also called extension tubes) which help to…
It’s another Movie Monday and this time we’re celebrating May the Fourth and all things Star Wars!
