Moving Week

I have finally moved to a brand new city. And while I am still getting into the swing of things, my blogging is going to be in the range of infrequent to nonexistent. Hopefully I can adjust quickly enough to work out a few new ideas for this site. But until then, I'll keep crafting, and I hope you do the same!

Headband mania

We all know how I love a creative and beautiful headband. So as I opened up my google reader--bursting with nearly 500 messages-- I found two wonderful headband projects. These gems are enough to make me not regret the two days I spent decluttering my reader.

The first are several ribbon-wrapped headband techniques from May Arts. I've never tried this, but those flowers are to die for!

And from Heart of Light comes the lovely rosebud headband. I really can't wait to try this one!!

Simply Sublime Bags

Another library find, Simply Sublime Bags has piqued my interest. The bags are "low-sew, no-sew projects," which is very intriguing to me, considering I sewed my first purse at the tender age of seven.

Although I don't really know how I would handle stapling and duct-taping a project together-- I am very old school-- the bags are beautiful. And they seem really simple to make, provided that I could get over stapling my seams instead of sewing them...

The land of many

I realize how lax I've been in blogging this recently, but it seems to be a month of chaos and big projects. Not always necessarily large, but simply time-consuming.

Not only am I preparing to move, but I've taken on refinishing a table--my first, and I'm pretty excited!! I'm also recovering cushions for a friend, and a very important 7-year-old needed a Star Wars related birthday present...

So, I ask forgiveness for my neglect, but I can promise that I will be back online soon! Hopefully next time I will have another project under my belt to share!

Six days??

Has it really been six DAYS since my last crafting extravaganza? I feel really lazy. I could have an excuse-- I have an ongoing cold that I cannot seem to shake-- but I know that it is still just laziness. Hopefully, I can make some time in this busy week to finish a project or two. As soon as I do, it will be up here for you to peruse and critic and do with whatever you would like.

Tartan anyone?

I love plaid. That is all. It must be the Scottish in me. And when I saw this Tartan Designer on Sweet Tidings, I had to play with it. Of course. If you love plaid, just click here to create your own!

An origami success!

I saw these beautiful folded (and glued) paper flowers on Curiositys and decided to make my own. The directions come from t does wool, which does a wonderful job of explaining to a paper-folding-failure like myself. I made a few of these for a neighbor and, of course, a few for myself!
