CraftStylish shows how to make this scarf with lace edging at the bottoms. The silk will be soooo soft against your skin, and a pretty contrast with a tweedy winter coat. Go to the tutorial.

These little Bears will be delightful around the holidays. A pictorial tutorial is available on Martha’s web site. Enjoy this project and show us the results. This incredibly…
These cute flowers are made with VHS tape! How cool is that? Well when I saw this I thought that these would make great recycled bows from holiday gifts. Pop on over to CraftStylish for a ton of ideas on recycling a VHS tape and here for the flower tutorial. Just make sure you don’t recycle your wedding video:)

I’m enthralled. It never occurred to me that it’s possible to create inlay with fabric — much as woodcrafters do with veneer. And yet this needlework technique has been around at least since the 14th century! Crafting with wool felt is at a fever pitch right now, and here’s another perfect application for this luxurious fabric. Needleprint blog tells us a…

I don't have many fabric stores around here. I have tried Jo-Anns but rarely find fabric I am looking for. I am looking for fabric with writing and calligraphy. I also like faces. Any suggestions? ...

I quite like this one. Even though the entire time i was looking at it as a horizontal. In fact i'd had enough of it and thought of it as a failure. But i thought i'd take a picture of it and upload it to istockphoto anyway in case someone wanted to use it for grunge texture, or something like that. But when viewing it vertical like this, i really like it.
I planned on painting shapes, like i did for the bodhi tree, but in this case i'd paint repetitive triangles, thinking of sails. It really wasn't abstract enough in the beginning so i kept adding and subtracting layers many times and made some scratches and texture lines with a watercolor pencils until finally i was just through with it. It wasn't going where i'd hoped it would.
Looking at it vertical is a really happy accident.
