I haven’t used my sewing machine since Christmas when I made these folded fabric ornaments. So I was happy when this month’s Creative Crafters Craft Challenge was to use fabric. You see, even though I don’t sew as much as I’d like, I’ve somehow managed to accumulate a stash of fat quarters and odd lengths…
Embossing is a technique used to create a raised impression on malleable material like paper or metal. If you’ve ever used one of those plastic tape label makers where you had to spin a dial and squeeze the handle to spell a word, you’ve embossed something. A metal die or stamp is often used to…
My son has a very photgenic Siberian Husky, at least when he stays still. He has very pronounced markings and striking, ice blue eyes. Today I thought it would be fun to show you how I transformed a photo of Malachi’s eye into an image with more of a hand drawn poster effect using PicMonkey,…
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.
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…
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.
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…
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 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…
I’m so pleased with this pretty floral wall hanging made from accordion paper flowers. It’s part of this month’s Garden Challenge of the Creative Craft Bloggers Group. I’d originally intended to make something that would go outside but the weather and the local germs didn’t cooperate and I missed the deadline. This project– inspired by…
Got paper? Somewhere along the way I picked up several packs of lightweight, decorative papers. I used a few sheets for other projects (like these recycled boxes) but the rest of the papers waited for the perfect project to come along. I think I found it in my paper reed heart.
I’ve never cared for going all out with Christmas decorations but I do love a few touches here and there throughout our home. This year I decided to revisit a childhood craft and make a few pomanders for a holiday citrus centerpiece.
