Some Crafty Ideas & Bloggers

Ok I have been jumping around looking at some really fun and easy and outstanding crafting projects...


               How about making a bird feeder out of a slinky top?

                                                                  Skip  to my Lou did....

Make a "glitter" pair of sneaks...

see how at The Kultz Corner

How cleaver a DVD box for coloring pencils...

see how at Handmade by Stacy

I am always trying to figure out what to do 

with those laundry detergent bottles

Handmade by Stacy just solved it!

One hint on how to make a wreath a lot less expensive I saw on Handmade by Stacy's blog,

she used a foam tube and stuff it with plastic bags and then taped it together. They are cheap

and you can find them at any hardware store. I know we use them to cover our pipes at the cabin

for "winterizing" it. What a great idea! 

Ohhh these are so so cute and not difficult to make

they are called Anthro Necklaces and Flamingotoes 

shows you how. 

My Fabulous finds on Blogs

I was visiting some of my favorite blogs and ran across this beautiful sculpture. Now realize that these horses are all done in tape!! Yup...you have to check out this guys site to see the rest of his creations. Just fantastic!!!

Another great blog tutorial was on how to make sequin buttons!!! I loved this one...

I found this fantastic idea on Liana's blog, Sew Intriguing I visit and the tutorial of it all started on Kathleen's blog which is called Fashion Incubator.. What a fabulous idea on making a pattern and it is so easy and will take all the guess work out of fitting problems and how to make your garments look like they were custom made just for you!!! you might want to get a book that will help you on pattern making and she suggests a few, but I liked this one best. I was also surprised to find that The Sewing Emporium was so near me in Chula Vista, CA. they have a sewing cutting round there that would be great for all your pattern making.

Now since I am a total "Bag Lady" I couldn't resist posting these bags when I found the patterns and blogs, Sew Mad has the cutest Shark bag...I just love it...but Natron's is in German??? Any ideas on how I could translate it??? Help!!!


And last but not the least...I love this group which is all over "blogland"...The Weepies. they remind me of the music from the Joan Biaz age.. :) am I dating myself??? Anyways I have pre-oreded thier newest CD out tomorrow... :)
