If you follow any textile artists on social media you’ve probable seen examples of visible mending and Sashiko, an embroidery style from Japan. Laura from Over The Apple Tree has combined the two to repair a favorite pair of jeans. She has lots of photos and tips in her post. A quick Pinterest search will…

Joy from Artful Homemaking shared a tutorial for making the classic Grandmother’s Favorite Dishcloth pattern. This brings back memories as it was one of the first projects I ever made. Later, I made a baby blanket from the same pattern using chunky yarn and large needles. It was a hit! I love the earth tones…

I’ve mentioned a couple times about reading the Wheel of Time series of fantasy books by Robert Jordan. Well, I turned the final page last week. Now I find myself with empty hands. I do have a single SKYP sock to finish, but I’m not into it right now. Luckily, the perfect project came along…
If a stranger came to your home and peeked under your kitchen sink, would you cringe or beam with pride? If your answer is cringe, check out Angela’s under sink organization system for inspiration. Angela created an attractive storage system that makes finding whatever she needs easy. No more digging in the dark and knocking…
Check out this inspiring towel and bathing suit rack from MM at Coastal Bohemian. She found a squid carving at the flea market then painted it and created a beautiful distressed backdrop for mounting. The entire piece looks fabulous on their balcony. What a fun place to hang wet towels, bathing suits and anything else…
