I can’t tell you the last time I actually dyed an Easter egg. Maybe that’s why I was blown away by this post from Happier Than A Pig In Mud which details how to cook and dye the eggs at the SAME TIME! In an electric pressure cooker, no less! How clever is that? I…
This week’s feature from Liberty of B4 And Afters will bring back memories for many of us. This upcycled hard bottomed crocheted tote was all the rage back in the day. I recall my sister, cousins and I each had one to carry for Easter. They were made by my Nana. I love how Liberty…
Hopefully Jessica will be able to offer her class through another platform. If she does, I’ll update the links in the post. You’ve just finished the project you’ve been working on and want to take a gorgeous photo of it to share with your social media friends. Or maybe you have a blog and want…
Suzer Space has a nice tutorial demonstrating how to make your own custom notepads. It’s just in time for me because I have a bunch of printer paper I’d like to recycle into scrap pads and I can use her method for putting them together. It could also be fun to design your own custom…
If I had unlimited money I’d have an entire room devoted to purses and handbags. I have a strict one in/one out rule (sometimes it’s two in…you know how it is.) Because of my rule I don’t often purchase a gorgeous straw bag like the one shown below. But I might change my mind thanks…
I’m enchanted by these DIY Cocktail Stirrers by Wendy of My French Twist. It was the wire beads that caught my eye, but I like the look of them in general. Don’t know about you, but I could spend a good amount of time just looking at beads and charms to make my own custom…
My reading tastes are a bit eclectic. I like thrillers and science fiction, romances and modern novels. I even enjoy the classics. It all depends on my mood. Recently my mood has been to read tales of yarn and murder. You’d be surprised at the number of knitting mysteries available to read.
I used to love to dye eggs for Easter, almost as much as eating the rainbow colored egg salad afterwards. That’s not an option for us anymore. It’s almost too much trouble to dye eggs just a few eggs and Rick doesn’t care for egg salad. So this year, instead of having an empty basket,…
Julka Bunny is a fun crochet project. Lalka Crochetka, the designer, has made the dress separately from the body so if you peek, you will see her little tail! It would also be possible to create an entire wardrobe for Julka. Lalka Crochetka is a long time participant in Creatively Crafty and it’s always fun…
The craft of making Dorset Buttons evolved in response to the fashions of 17th century England. Entire villages and families were involved in process. Nowadays Dorset Buttons are decorative, rather than utilitarian items. They can be attractive in their own right and used by historic reenactors for their costumes or by needle crafters to use…

Lot’s of inspiration with Frau Tschi Tschi’s family portrait pillow. She crocheted the front and back and then crossed stitch the family onto the front of the cushion. It’s so cute! And customizable, too. You’ll want to click through to see the chart she used (created in a spreadsheet…very clever). While you’re there visit the…
