DIY: thread wrapped box / Sheepy Me. The latest outbreak of dog food and cat food contamination has shaken the confidence of pet owners the world over, but nowhere as much as in the United States where illness and reported deaths took its highest toll of family pets. Now, in the aftermath of large scale pet food recalls, many are asking questions about the ingredients that they’ve always trusted to provide optimum health for their family pets. It comes as no real surprise now that many pet owners are choosing to make their own homegrown variety of pet nutrition. When made properly, it has to be a better option than all that imported stuff with unknown ingredients of suspicious composition and origin.
In fact, many say it’s not too difficult at all and fairly inexpensive to make. But, a number of experts caution that homemade diets won’t work for every pet or its owner. For starters, you can have your family vet or a recommended veterinary nutritionist put together a starter diet for you to try. A Word of Caution: Random Tutorial Generator.

Ten inches is the standard length that I use when making a tutu. I am just noticing that it is a bit hard to see the orange tulle that I am cutting in this picture. Once you are done cutting, you are ready to start tying.

Last week Katie and friends announced the second Pinterest Challenge (Fall Edition) and since I missed it the first time around, I decided to hop on board this time. A few weeks ago I had cozy accents on my mind, specifically sweater pillows. Pottery Barn has made versions of these in the past and there were a few DIYers who came up with their own interpretations too. I loved Megan’s version from Brassy Apple so I pinned it.
(Don’t you love the ability to comment on Pinterest too? I also loved Megan’s button center and floral accents too! I bought the center one for $3 bucks and brought it home. And a few days ago I made this! The flower is a lapel pin I’ve had for awhile that suits the pillow perfectly. I also found another gray and red striped sweater at the Goodwill for $3 and also stitched up this cozy Christmas accent pillow: Any ol’ sweater you find at a thrift store can become your next decorative accent in these upcoming chilly months!

Make grow gather - Posts - valentine's day string art.
Do you guys remember this kooky craft from the 70s? It turns out that making string art is really calming and meditative – not to mention groovy. That loop-loop-loop back and forth between nails is sort of like remedial weaving. Okay, very remedial weaving. I made these bulletin boards for Valentine’s Day, with a kind of abstracted string art heart motif. I glued two cork tiles together as a base so it would be thick enough to push the nails into place. The heart involves curves; and since I am not a mathematician and I prefer asymmetrical shapes, I went a little free from with the looping. Materials: Cork tiles Paint (if painting the cork a color) Glue Pencil Nails (I used 2 kinds – linoleum nails and wire brads.)
Colored embroidery floss or other thin string Scissors Japanese paper tape How-to: If painting your tiles, paint them and let dry.Glue two tiles together, place under a heavy stack of books and let dry.Sketch a heart shape on the cork with a pencil.
