The DIY Cardboard Box Inkle Loom
Notes: I made these two looms out of heavy cardboard boxes. For folks who are really curious about the process but can't afford to spend too much money on equipment for a process they aren't sure if they will enjoy/do often! These looms are pretty sturdy, but they have some limitations.

Wednes-DIY Home Décor: The Light Bulb Vase | Free People Clothing Boutique Blog
Don’t throw away those old light bulbs just yet! I have a fun, easy DIY for you that will brighten up your home decor or workspace :) A little while back I found this image on tumblr and immediately saved it to my inspiration folder: I gathered a couple of light bulbs and got to work! I found this DIY to be very simple, but it requires working with glass so you definitely need to be careful.
DIY Wrap Bracelet
You should all know by now that we are all about stacking bracelets on our wrists. The more, the better. In fact . . . the most, the best!It's hard to believe, but it's about that time of the year when we start thinking of the holiday gifting! So like every year before, I'm looking for DIY's to keep from breaking the bank. Perfect timing, because I just discovered Megan Nielsen's website of beautiful sewing patterns for sale and a blog that features wonderful freebies & tips! Now... the next step for me...to get a sewing machine!!! I guess that will just have to be a pre-Christmas gift to myself ;P

Mini Quilt: Vegetable Patch
This darling little quilt marks the fourth in our Mini Quilt of the Month series. Each month this year we are bringing you a pattern for a new mini quilt.

For April we decided to do something in celebration of Springtime and inspired by nature.
Remember my pristine craft room ? Yeah it’s been well used in the intervening years. This is actually a shot about half way through the clean out process (I had a blogger fail and forgot to get a true Before photo). It was bad though, and this clean-out/total reorganization is something I had been meaning to do for some time.
