Make It and Love It. Free Pattern – Grumpasaurus. Matt & I have a saying around our house that if one of us is grumpy then we are a Grumpasaurus. I’d been batting around the idea for awhile of knitting him up a toy version of the Grumpasaur & came up with this little guy. I thought he was cute enough to share with all of you. This was supposed to be a stocking stuffer for Christmas & then a Valentine’s Day gift but I actually just finished it yesterday. I had to keep starting over to get the shapes I wanted for the body & the tail.
Of, course you don’t have to make your dinosaur grumpy, have fun embroidering any expression you want. He’s also pretty darn cute without the comb.

Body:(You are knitting the Grump’s body from the bottom up.) Tail: Arms: (make 2) Comb: Yarn wall. Whattya need? Two different color yarnsScissorsPush pinsA wall How do I make a yarn wall? Step 1: Set push pins in a horizontal line on wall (let spacing between be random).
Step 2: Cut lengths of yarn appropriate for your room. Make them longer than you need; you will cut off excess soon. Step 3: Tie one end of yarn around each push pin. Step 4: Sit and stare at wall. Created by Dane Holweger. A quilt is nice: rounded quilt corners tutorial. Lately (if you haven't noticed) I have really been into roundedcorners on my quilts. I really like how it looks, and how it seems to soften the quilt-- which I especially love for baby quilts. The great thing about rounded corners is you don't have to do mitered corners on your binding. The bad part is you MUST use bias binding. (there are many tutorials out there on how to make continuous binding...i'm hoping to get a tutorial up soon on how I do it. Most everyone does it the same way).
Rounding your corners is super duper easy peasy. Here's how I do it. And square it up. next, I fold my quilt in half, and find a rounded object (I use a bowl or lid...or a toy that's floating around my sewing space) that gives you a good curve on your corner. Trace your arc with a disappearing ink pen, or a pencil like I use because I have misplaced my pen. using scissors, cut your curve (I do two layers at once). repeat tracing the arc and cutting on the other two corners of your quilt. that's it. Looks matter: how to build a look savvy brand. Bridal Clutch or Bridesmaid Clutch Pouch Purse : by lolos Looks matter: how to build a look savvy brand As much as I champion on building your internal story brand there does come a point when that brand needs to translate visually.
A great brand can get lost two ways–when your visual brand does not represent your story and when your true purpose is not a part of that story. Don’t just be beautiful, unique, or handmade. Be mission driven and represent that direction with some visual cues. No matter your “look” here are 5 tips for making the most of a gravitating brand. Tip no. 1: Keep it simple Make your online presence bright, bold, and simple! Tip no 2: Be word savvy Your copy writing is just as important as your branded business cards or packaging. Tip no. 3: Photograph like a pro Photos are the best way to show your work. Tip no. 4: Streamline your packaging Have a system for branding each customer’s order. Tip no. 5: Have action steps A confused buyer does not purchase.

Project 11 Week 17 – Shredded Newspaper Lantern. Most people have a paper lantern or two lying around the house, but they can get pretty boring very quickly, so this week’s project is focused on rethinking that old standard! I had the newspaper already shredded from an old school project (for anyone who cares, its The New York Times). Many of the pieces are simply black and white text, but there is also a lot of color. I made a mixture of water, glue, and some Mod Podge and just started laminating the pieces on there. I did about 1/4 of the lantern the first night, and left it to dry only to wake up the next day and find that I hadn’t used enough glue and all the pieces had curled up and were falling off.
So I rubbed the failed pieces off, and started again. But this time I learned from my mistakes and made sure to add a good solid final coat of Mod Podge or varnish on top of the paper pieces before leaving them to dry.

Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space.
