DIY Toilet Paper Roll Summer Wreath
I am not a crafter. Noooo, sirree. I like making odds and ends, but I can assure you that I am not a frills-and-lace, decoupage-crazy, sewing machine addict that spends her spare time bedazzling jumpers and darning clog socks. (If you happen to be a decoupage-crazy sock-darner, I mean no insult. You worship your gods, I'll worship mine.

Christine Chitnis: Pretty Pots
This might be my favorite craft so far, and I got the idea after seeing one too many beautifully patterned pots that were just out of my price range!
