Old games offer multiple small pieces that can be transformed into creative decorations and gifts. This little pumpkin takes two dominoes. Just think how many you could craft from one game. It stands […]

Primitive Pumpkin Bed Spring
Usher in the cool days of fall with a primitive pumpkin bed spring craft. Yes, I realize it is July, but as a crafter who sells her crafts, it is never too early to begin making seasonal items. Bed springs have always been a favorite “junk” find of mine. I have made a variety of […]

Crochet T-Shirt Yarn Farmhouse Tray-Free Pattern
I may have a problem. I like fast crochet projects and the fastest projects are the ones that use bulky or chunky yarns. Crocheting with t-shirt yarn (tarn) is one of my favorite chunky yarns to use. While that probably doesn’t seem like a problem, my growing stash of hoarded t-shirts might be. T-shirt yarn […]
Don’t throw those bits and snips of leftover fabric scraps! Make your own scrap fabric twine instead! If you’re anything like me, you already have a box or two (or ten) filled with those fabric scraps you just couldn’t bring yourself to dispose of. After all, they might be just the right thing for a […]
