Flip-Book Cover

A few months ago, my husband Trevor had to create a project for school on knot tying.

He created a survey, which some of you partook in...and then decided to create a cool flip-book to show how a double sheet bend knot (the knot he chose) is actually tied.

I felt honored when he asked me to design the cover for it.


Storage Solution

A while back I had a craving for Pringles.

As I was eating them, I was thinking of how I could reuse the containers.  

...they could be used for so many things;  Tea bags, paint brushes, markers or even a pretty bank for your desk...etc.

I really like that each tube has a lid, all I have to do is make them look nicer.

Shades Of Blue...Coaster CRAZY

 
As you can see, I used more plastic canvas here.

I created a set of beautiful coasters for practically nothing...that makes me happy!!! 

The only problem with this type of craft is that once you start, you just keep making more and more, until you have an entire linen closet full of coasters... I'll have to use them in other creative ways like cube shaped hats or I could even sew them all together and make a giant quilt like tablecloth for a patio table or something...ha ha ha!

I can see it now...I'll be called the "crazy coaster lady"!!!  Ha ha ha!

Super Simple Kitty Toy


 To your left is an extreme close up image of plastic canvas.

I used it in this post to create a little kitty toy.

For those of you who have never used plastic canvas, I will say to you IT IS EASY, AND FUN...not to mention easy on the eyes, unlike cross stitch or embroidery.

This next project is so easy, and brings so much joy to your little feline friend that I hope you give it a try.

The Little COFFEE / PICNIC Table

This is my preliminary drawing

I am always saying how much I love vintage labels and ads so, for this post, 
 I created my very own coffee label.
