Southern Lovely diy rope bowls so it's been a while since i've posted anything remotely crafty lately...i suppose i must be getting lazy (technically lazy-er). anyway, i saw this cute bowl on craftgawker over the weekend so i decided to make my own-with my own tutorial 'cause i need the practice anyway right? anyway, it's a pretty simple process, it's actually really similar to my recycle magazine bowl but with rope instead. basically just glue, wrap, glue, wrap, etc, etc. all you need is a hot glue gun and rope. i got my rope for $2-it's 50 ft, 1/4 inch, manila rope (i almost went with the sisal but i liked the color of the manila more). start wrapping in a circular motion to form the base. if you plan on making several i might consider making all the bases first just to make sure they're the same size. when i made my second i tried to make it the same size...which of course, it isn't. but that could just be the fact that i can almost never make the same thing twice... making one bowl took me about an hour...ish?
IHeart Organizing Owner Building a Home: The Momplex | Getting on the Grid Boy oh boy did you ever make my day!!!! Thank you so much for all the support and lovely comments on my book! I so hope you love it as much as I do! I know you will! A special thanks to those of you who have preordered. Not only do you get a great discounted price, but the more preorders we get, the lower the preorder price is for everyone! Back home in Alaska, we've been getting our hands dirty at the Momplex. TRUE STORY - My mom has lived 30 years without electricity! And although we have much to do inside the Momplex to get Mom moved in, we've got a very short MUST DO list for the Momplex before snow falls on the exterior. - Garage doors installed (on order already!) Now this is a list I love looking at! But with the weather still nice, we want to put the utilities in. Up here in Alaska, we don't have city sewer or water. We've decided to bury as much as possible. For my family, it's like a giant sandbox. Right next to the well. Then it's run over to the well.
Gleeful Things Free Crochet & Sewing Pattern: Floral Fringe Bag Tutorial March 19, 2014 Did you know that March is National Craft Month?! Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores invited me to create a project tutorial to share with you for the occasion! They gave me four themes to choose from (floral, nautical, geometric and vivid orchid) and I went with the floral theme because it’s perfect for Spring! Anyway, lately I’ve had a lot of ideas floating around in my head that involve incorporating fabric into crochet projects. Finished Size: About 10 inches wide x 11 inches tall (plus fringe). - Cotton fabric (about half a yard will do – I used this one) - Worsted weight yarn (I used Bernat Handicrafter Delux in Navy) - Size G (4.5 mm) crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge) - Yarn needle - Basic sewing supplies (this can be sewn by machine or hand) - Ruler - 1 large wood bead (a button would work too) sc – single crochet ch – chain sl st – slip stitch rnd – round ea – each FO – finish off Top piece Strap
Turning a Postcard Book into Wall Art Desire to Inspire Occasionally, I will be fawning over galleries of photos of an entire home and fixate on one small detail. This very thing happened to me while looking at a tour of Nusara's home. The entire house is done beautifully, but I really honed in on this vignette in her living room. In what is by no means a difficult or entirely out-of-the-box DIY, Nusara has taken each of the postcards in the book and hung them with a tiny clothespin from a string. It's funny: I have this exact book of postcards. I even have a string with clothespins up in my studio, where I pin up inspiring imagery and paper ephemera all of the time. It's a simple idea, I know, but my eye kept going back to it while I was browsing through her beautiful home. See more on Desire to Inspire. (Images: from Nusara, via Desire to Inspire)
