It’s the Ides of March, which aside from being a very bad day for anyone names Augustus Ceasar, means that we are halfway through National Craft Month. Today’s project actually took me more than one day. It’s not that it was a long process, but I did have to wait for the mod podge to…

Today’s project is really awesome! I made a purse out of an old book. I’m very excited about how this project turned out. I got to make use of the cover of a book that was falling apart (I’m trying to come up with ideas for the pages. Leave me a comment if you have any ideas.) I…

13 days and strong! It’s Sunday, so I’m going to do another Simple Sunday craft. We will be making bowls out of old records. This might seem like a complicated thing to do, but this is possibly the easiest project I’ve ever done. To make sure that I did this right, and didn’t kill anyone with…

Today’s national craft month project can be done aas a sewing project, or a hot glue project. I did mine as a hot glue project, because I couldn’t get the layers of fabric through my sewing machine. This travel pouch was made for my travel size flat iron. It’s an amazingly simple project. For this…

Today’s craft project is a my first sewing project for national craft month. I don’t normally do sewing projects, because I always seem to have issues with my sewing machine. It’s usually the tension, but this was such a cool project, that I had to try it. This skirt was actually really simple. I took…

Today’s project is a hair wrap. It as actually really simple to make… or it would have been if I hadn’t insisted on folding and ironing all of my fabric too avoid edges. I cut some fabric into 2 inch strips and folded it the way bias tape is folded – with the edges to…
