Plastic stained glass suncatchers make great Christmas ornaments. They are inexpensive, too. I bought a box of 18 of them with paints and a brush for under $5.00. Just paint, let dry and attach a string or yarn hanger.

My craft room is out of control. I needed
some google eyes for a craft project today
and I couldn’t find them.
I turned my craft room upside down, making
what was once a mess into a full-blown
disaster.
I couldn’t finish the project without the eyes,
so I ran around the house searching every
closet, drawer and floor.
My daughter asked me what was wrong…
she could see (more. . .)

I love vintage sewing patterns, don’t you? I have just started collecting them. I
don’t sew much, but I am looking forward to the day that I will one day have time to
sew.
I think it would be fun to sew some of these retro-fashions and to wear them
out someplace. Like I could wear that black jumpsuit in the middle to WalMart-
ha ha!
Anyway, just wanted to share (more. . .)

I love old craft books. I have too many to count. I especially love the books from
the 1980′s, like this one.
The patterns were great.
Who didn’t (at the time) love those bright 80′s colors? Even men wore hot pink!
I love that big 80′s hair! Looking back, it’s easy to make fun of ourselves for being
so outlandish. But, outlandish, is what made the 1980′s fun!
I buy (more. . .)

My latest crafting obsession is crocheting with VHS tape. I’m not sure if there are
a lot of crochet patterns available for this technique or not…I haven’t done a search
yet. I imagine there are a few freebies somewhere.
I will keep working with the technique and I’ll be sharing some free patterns on the
internet with you.
What is your opinion on crocheting with VHS tape? Have you (more. . .)

I’m so excited! I got my new Annie’s Hook & Needle Club Kit today…and it was this
fun teddy bear design!
The Annie’s Hook & Needle Club Kits are written with both crochet and knit
instructions, so more crafters can enjoy them. I think that is ingenious! Both
bears look very similar in design.
This is one craft kit I will definitely make!

If you are making a scrapbook for your newborn baby, why not include a few
magazines from the week or month and year your child was born? Just slip them
between page protectors, or keep them in a box or manila envelope.
Some of the magazines I would suggest are People, a fashion magazine, and Time.
This way, your child can look back someday and see what was happening the (more. . .)
