Amargosa Opera House. House On The Rock, Spring Green, Wisconsin. Spring Green, Wisconsin The House On The Rock is the world's most bizarre and vast collection of stuff -- everything from scrimshaw and medieval armor to carousel horses and mechanical music machines -- and all of it may be fake. Or all of it may be real. For many years, the story went that Alex Jordan, Jr wanted to teach Frank Lloyd Wright a thing or two about architecture. Jordan's dad, a budding architect, had been dismissed at Wright's Taliesin home, near Spring Green, with the declaration, "I wouldn't hire you to design a cheese crate or a chicken coop.

" Soon after, the senior Jordan chose a pinnacle rock south of Taliesin to build a parody of Wright's fancy-pants architecture, a strange "Japanese house. " The House On The Rock opened to the public in 1959. These days, the F.

Marianne Cusato and a team of designer have partnered with Lowes to bring the Katrina Cottages to market as plans and material packages. Cottages in the Lowes series range from 308 ft. up to 1800 sq. ft. Several of the cottages have grow options that allow the smaller cottages to be expanded over time.

anna's nest: How To Make Lined Curtains

This post has been incredibly more popular than I ever imagined. Wow! Thanks for visiting and feel free to poke around. Even though it’s kind of dusty around here, I’m hoping to be adding more soon. I hope I’ve been able to answer all your questions – some other very helpful folks have also left answers in their comments – I’ve tried to incorporate most of these into the tutorial but feel free to ask any more that I’ve missed.

make a fabric flower and a flower tutorial round up

We had several other great flower ideas on our list, so we'll have to have a "part two" sometime soon. To end our week, here is one more cool flower we made and a bunch of other fabulous flower tutorials that we found out in blogland. Enjoy! This fabric flower was made in a similar fashion as our ribbon flowers. We started with a 20-inch by 4-inch piece of fabric and folded it in half lengthwise. Some other fun flower projects to try: Lifelike ribbon peonies from Make It Do. Gorgeous "hammered" flowers from BuildMakeCraftBake.

Tea cup flowers from the object project. Ribbon rose bouquets from The Storque (courtesy of BurdaStyle). Ribbon and button flowers from Hope Studios. Easy fabric flowers from Wise Craft (we tried it and loved it--see it here!)
