Jun 29 Not to sound full of myself, but I’m pretty sure this is the be all, end all of popsicle roundups.

Polly Wiggins, a quilling friend in Kansas, encrusted this paper mache heart with beautiful folded roses and fringed flowers. I'm drawn to the subtle, old fashioned shades she chose, perhaps because they remind me of a silky-soft comforter my great grandmother made years and years ago.

That being said, fire is cool and these DIY projects allow you to play with fire the adult way- with some amount of carefulness. Take a look....

This was one of my favorite crafts to make because it is really relaxing just like knitting and crocheting! This is just like making one of those paracord bracelets, except with yarn. I got some neato small yarn just for making these! Here is what you will be making: These are straight, but you don't need an expert to tell you that making them into a bracelet is as easy as knotting the two ends together (which is what you do..).

I was walking through Target a few weeks ago and noticed this little knit fabric headband that was not just braided together…….but woven.

A nice and easy project to give my bad-hair-day head some love.
