Okay. I know that everything crafty has probably been done some time in the past, but I have uncovered something that I am pretty confident won’t be making a comeback any time soon. I recently rescued a copy of “Weave-it Weave In” from ebay. How could I resist a cover …
I didn’t know that an octopus revolution was underway… Visit the Octopus Revolution Flickr group for a free crochet pattern for a basic little octopus. The group will showcase many variations on the same pattern. So make a little Octo and then dress him/her up! Found on Craftster.
I know I said the Week of weaving is over…. but I forgot one little project!! This one is basically a re-interpretation of my needlebook idea. The construction is the same, except that I used 4 inch weave-it squares (made from leftover handspun) to create a button book. The two …
To conclude the Week of Weaving series, I will show you how to weave on a weave-it or weavette hand loom. If you are still tuned in here in the third week of the week of weaving, I am guessing that you already know how to use a hand loom, …

I signed up for a recipe swap over at swapbot. I debated typing my recipes, but I like it when things have a handmade touch, so I thought I would write them all up. I ventured over to my little recipe box and discovered that I am totally out of …
Continued from Part I These are the eyes you have been waiting for… I stumbled upon this idea after finishing an amigurumi cactus for my friend, and not wanting to sew on eyes. So I turned to one of my all time favorite crafting materials, Shrinky-dinks. I get my shrinky-dinks …
