Someone once said -

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for the people who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." Amen

Crafting Fun!

Ms Crafts1
These are some new projects offered by Martha Stewart  in her new book Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts website crafting ideas...I love the tea cup candles and the beaded necklace is pretty,,


How about painting some fish on a tote bag for the beach?
 A child can do this one. :)

I know this says "Happy Mom's Day" Pot hanger but I think you could change it and make it for any occasion, how about inverting them and using them to hold Dad's nuts & bolts?

I’ve been roped in to a DIY obsession that’s got me all tied up at the moment.  I cannot stop weaving and knotting for the life of me!  Currently, were seeing the macrame and summer crochet trend all over the place.  Don’t think hippie-chic looks and handwoven plant hangers- Macrame and crochet looks are back in a modern and wearable way.  Chanel’s SS10 collection is bursting at the seams with this delicate, light-weight design that’s to die for.  Oscar de la Renta proved this trend is gonna stick around for a bit as we spotted some macrame cameos in his Cruise 2011 show as well. To create you own version of this macrame-style rope necklace, grab a spool of rope and loop around your thumb.  Weave over and under your fingers, back and forth until you create 2 rows of rope of each finger.  Remove the bottom string over the top on each finger, until you leave just one row left.  Continue to weave over and under, always creating 2 rows of rope and pulling the bottom rope over the top.  After you’ve created your woven design, remove from the fingers, loop the strand through all the finger holes, add beads and chain- and you’re ready to roll!

I love this idea....I am always using chain and it is boring, but adding beads really pizzazz' it up!!! Embellished Bayou tells you how to do it.
