I love to crochet in the summer time. While I have been looking for something to work on I have come across so many Ideas I am having a very hard time narrowing it down to one project. Here are a few things on the top of my lists. Whimsical crochet is coming back with a vengeance thanks to Adinda
Totally inspired by a sample I saw in a book. I spent far too much time trying to make it work with a die rather than hand cutting as the sample was made. None of the dies I have would work quite right. I managed to make one sort of look okay after much trial and error (yes, I should have spent my time more wisely!) . In the end they turned out okay, but I won't make another card this way. Designer Papers, stamp images, inks are all retired from Stampin' Up! Die to make the flower is from Stampin' Up! inside front and back laid open so you can see the cut Place the fold of your card on the die, centering it where you'd like . I chose to line it up between the points where petals met. The half of the card that will be cut has 3 petals on it (it was a 5 petal flower die) so once it is cut and opened , there will be six petals. The violet version below has the full six petals by lining the die and card stock up as shown above. The yellow and green card above has a slightly smaller set of petals in the middle along the fold because I tried to line the fold up along the center of a set of petals to see what that would look like. They turned out much skinnier than I intended, I slid the die/card stock or didn't have it place exactly where I wanted. I made a shim out of chipboard layers to cover the portion of the die I wanted to cut. I laid the plastic cutting pad over the card stock and die as I normally would, leaving the second cutting pad out of the "sandwich" to allow room for the shim. This way, when it rolled through (yes, it was tricky! even taping it down to the cutting pad the shim wanted to slide) the pressure would be on the shim, cutting out only that area of the die and not the entire die. As I said previously, I spent far too much time trying to figure out a way to make it work when I really should have just hand cut the flower opening out like the project in the book. this shows the shim lined up along the fold white core violet printed card stock from Lasting Impressions Vintage Violet and Wisteria Wonder inks from Stampin' Up! die, embossing folder and Stipple Plaid stamp from Stampin' Up! ribbon unknown sandpaper edge of scissors to lightly distress card stock edge stampin' sponge Here is the original project inspiration from a book Thanks for looking =)

In this talk, Amy will share highlights from her research into the history of cochineal while writing A Perfect Red, when Amy delved into the ships’ records of the Spanish fleet, visited a cochineal ranch in Oaxaca, and took over a lab for a hands-on recreation of a 17th-century alchemist’s discoveries.Jantiene van Elk from TextielMuseumJantiene van Elk is librarian at the TextielMuseum (Tilburg, the Netherlands). She’s responsible for more than 20.000 books, an extensive collection of manuscripts and sample books, journals and magazines and a documentation collection on textile art, - design, - technique and industrial culture. She regularly publishes about the library collection, especially on the history and use of sample books.Description of talk:The TextielMuseum’s library holds a collection of manuscripts with dye recipes. This lecture tells the hidden stories of these dye recipe notebooks.The original, hand written recipes were used in the textile industry, mainly in nineteenth century Tilburg. From the notebooks we can learn how Tilburg was connected to the world. Dyestuffs came from all over the world – often from European colonies. Take cochineal from Mexico, lichens from the Canary Islands, dye woods from Latin-America and indigo from the South of the United States of America, Indonesia and Surinam. Secondly, the dye recipes show us how you can learn by doing. When using the recipes again, a lot of implicit knowledge is missing. Can we recreate the dyes and use the recipes again to create beautiful coloured woollen textiles? Lastly, the notebooks tell us about the dye workshops and the people who worked there.In a citizen science project, the museum library is researching these dye notebooks. Citizen science is scientific research with volunteers together with or under supervision of scientists. The stories from library collections are often only known to the individual visitors. This project brings these stories to a wider audience.The project is part of the activities for the public for an exhibition To Dye For. The exhibition lets visitors delve into the origins of and stories behind the dyes in our textiles. You can explore the dyeing process and experience the beauty and dilemmas of colour in textiles. The results of the citizen science project will be part of the exhibition.Cancellation policyAll recordings of online talks are non-refundable.
What do you do when you have too much stuff? Well...most of us usually cleverly hide away things in a drawer or closet until it reaches the point of bursting We have cute names for these areas like: the junk drawer the drunk drawer the knick knack...brick a brack... stuff and jumble closet and the ever popular clutter bug room... known as the the place where everyone seems to drop their stuff leave it there and then run off to another location in the house (usually the kitchen) at the speed of sound I for one cannot live with out a junk drawer or even two but I'm an organizer at heart Most of my favorite houses have been quite small so organizing the stuff of life has taken on epic proportions at times, sort of like fitting the Titanic into a dinghy I love a challenge ...especially when it involves baskets, boxes, files and labels So I agreed to share a little project I'm helping with and link to the amazing creativity of some other talented organizers too thanks to Leslie and her team at Segretto My project is helping a young twenty something couple create an office organization space using a basic Ikea wardrobe We start with this the Ikea Pax wardrobe system which retails for around $275 They already owned this and when they moved into a lager apartment with more closet space this became the perfect item to use for a new office/creative organization area It will contain: files.... his...hers...and joint files a printer all of their office supplies...pens, paper, tape etc a spot for daily mail a spot for keys, wallets and cell phones software and miscellaneous data equipment crafting supplies gift wrap and stationary table linens, candles and a few vases for flowers... and since they live in a big city with great shopping food and fun... lots of shopping bags the goal is to have all of the usually untidy and crazy odds and ends organized in a single location that works for a busy couple above is the old wardrobe with a few new modifications.... 2 new drawers a pull out shelf for the printer and multiple additional shelves for storage this Ikea wardrobe can be completely customized the wardrobe is fitted with two mirrored exterior doors which also will add a nice visual too their dining area when the doors are closed as you can see we are just getting started...but just wait all of the filing system is clear with bight colored folders in colors of kiwi, orange and blue the interior of the doors are fitted with magnetic memo boards for snapshots, business cards and a quick note to each other and we purchased these dog magnets because they have a new puppy named Bruno..and he's very cute we are almost done but we have a few more items to take care of please stop by for my next post too see the finished project completed its awesome..well not quite as awesome as Bruno, but we will try!

How are you storing your coins? Most people choose either tri-fold cardboard coin folders (that open float so you can view all of your coins at once) or hard-bound coin albums (with clear slides that protect the front & back of your coins and pages that flip open similar to a book). See the pros & cons of each.
Looking to add a little light to your nature table? Fold a Waldorf inspired origami star lantern! This is a wonderful way to recycle old watercolor paintings and transform them into pieces of art that liven up mantles, window sills, dinner tables, desks and more! These candle holders look beautiful no matter where they're placed. Fold along with our video or find each step listed below! Materials needed 12 X 12 inch piece of watercolor paper or recycled watercolor painting Flameless votive candle Scissors Bone folder (optional) Begin with a piece of 12 x 12 inch watercolor paper. We used a larger watercolor painting and cut it down to size. Fold it in half both ways to create a cross in the middle. Then, fold it in half again along both diagonals. Next, you will gather the paper into a squash square fold. You may recognize this shape from making a paper crane. It is accomplished by folding both the right and left corners inward between the two remaining squares of paper. You should end up with a 4 x 4 inch square. If you have trouble here, we encourage you to watch the video at the top of this post, where the movements can be seen more clearly. With the wider side pointing up, fold the right corner in to the center line, creating a thinner kite shape. Turn the left side over to the right and repeat on each flap. Then, open up each of these folds and push it down flat, creating a triangle with two "ears" at the top. Repeat this step for each flap. Take the kite shape that you've made and cut off the smaller triangles at the top. The resulting shape is an isosceles triangle that points down. Fold the right and left corners down to the center line. Turn the flap to the right twice and repeat the previous step until you get back to the original side. The resulting kite shape should look something like the point of a Waldorf window star! Now, open each of the folds and invert the flap into the inside of the triangle. Next, fold the tops of each of the kite flaps down, creating a crease at the top of the triangle. Do this until each flap has been folded down and the resulting shape is once again an isosceles triangle. Fold the bottom tip of the triangle upwards to meet the tip of the top triangle. Unfold, flip the shape over and fold the tip the other direction. Open up your shape and press down on the center point, flatening it to create the base of your lantern. Flip the lantern over and place a flameless votive inside of it. If you use a real candle make sure the flame is far away from the paper and that it is never left unattended. Place the lantern wherever you could use a little bit of light and watch it illuminate your space with its gentle glow! Congratulations! You folded a Waldorf star lantern! We hope that this tutorial simplified what can feel like a daunting process. Make sure you tag us on Instagram @BellaLunaToys when you post your creations!

Dresden Plate Tutorial - Quilting Made Easy!
What a great versatile bundle. I think it is so cute. It makes a perfect clean and simple card with all of the color that is added.
Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends! My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday. My middle of the week card feature for today will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with some motivation to keep you moving through your busy week. Let's jump right in with my card share for today........ How beautiful is this card! I started this card out by stamping my sentiment from the 'Blossoming Basket Stamp Set' onto a panel of Whisper White with Calypso Coral ink. I also used the basket stamp from this same set and stamped my basket image with Crumb Cake ink right above my stamped sentiment. Next I stamp the basket from the 'Blossoming Basket Stamp Set' onto a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and then fussy cut it out with my Paper Snips. After I had the basket cut out ....... I used the 'Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder' and ran that through my Big Shot. It created some amazing detail to my stamped basket image. All I needed to do was line up the fussy cut basket with that image I stamped earlier.......And all it took was a quick line up.......And my basket fell into place on the front of this card. My flowers were stamped from the 'Blossoming Basket Stamp Set' onto a small piece of Calypso Coral cardstock and then I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut that out. I added some 'Wink of Stella' to the top of my fussy flowers and then added three little pearls (that were colored in with the 'Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends) and adhered those down onto my flowers. I punched out two Peek-a-boo Peach 'Everyday Label Punch' images and cut them in half and then positioned them into the four corners of my card and cut off the excess. This label punch makes for a pretty corner piece on the front of my card. The final touch was adding a piece of Peek-a-boo Peach Baker's Twine to the handle of my basket and this card was done ....... In no time flat. This card turned out to be such a pretty card ...... And comes together in a quick jiffy!!!!! Thanks for joining me today! I'll be back tomorrow with a Tag Thursday creation to share with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share. Keep Living Your Dream!

Some time ago, I made a Thread Catcher using a different pincushion design. I listed it on Etsy and someone "pinned" that thread catcher. It has since had about a gozillion re-pins! ( That particular Thread Catcher is now living happily in Perth, Australia...) Still, to this day, I have people visiting my Etsy shop looking for that same Thread Catcher. I have also had numerous inquiries asking if I could make more. I did not have the main fabric any longer, but was recently able to track down a small amount of that fabric, no small feat, I might add. I have made up a couple of them and have one listed now at my Etsy Shop . I used a different bag lining fabric and I think that I like the new lining even better. What do you think? Before... ???? ... or AFTER!!! I'm loving the simple and understated lining on this one!

We love Pasithea's flattering cropped shape and beautiful front panel. It’s a sweater that will knit up quickly to give you a new make in no time at all!
This project sparks nostalgia because it reminds me of the diaries I used to collect as a kid. The wrap-around cover makes this book an excellent keeper of secrets. The design is elevated with a quality fabric cover and a beautiful stitching pattern. Long stitch is a versatile and straightforward binding, allowing the book design to be very customizable. In this project, I use wool fabric stiffened with HeatnBond®, a fusible interfacing. An alternative option is 2-mm-thick felt which is non-woven and doesn't require edge treatment. If you have sewing skills, I encourage you to sew your own double-sided cover, or even a quilted one!
