Not too long ago, there was a discussion started up on the local forum for Etsy sellers about mannequins, and the availability of those. Well, someone found a listing on Craigslist that the Nordstrom's . . .

Well, my weekend wasn't entirely as planned. This isn't a bad thing, by any means, though it means that I haven't started tackling my taxes yet. I'm still waiting on one of . . .

Alright, folks. I realized last night that my yarn stash has really gotten out of hand, and I need to do something to get it back under control. However, I'm having a hard time finding . . .

As promised, here's the instructions on how I made a necklace/picture board. I'm using mine to keep my necklaces untangled as well as to display some ACEOs that I've traded for or purchased. . . .

Just wondering how many of the crafters on here do local craft fairs, and how well you usually do at these?
My friend and I used to do one big craft fair every fall, at the end of November, which usually . . .

I've got some bottle caps that I've painted with acrylic paint. They're going to be a part of one of my bottle cap belts, which involves them having thread across them in the shape of . . .

I finally got my collage work space cleaned up enough to show it off. A lot of my local crafty friends have been doing some beginning of the year cleaning as well, which inspired me to get at least . . .

I've had a really long, not so great day, but I've noticed that it ended up being a productive day--I started the morning with two crocheted hats not quite done. I finished them both, and . . .

A few weeks ago, I was all caught up on everything. Now, all of the sudden, I have a crazy to-do list again. This is mostly my own fault, for agreeing to do a whole bunch of stuff that I probably . . .

So I had a pretty good weekend overall, but the highlight of my weekend was certainly buying a new sewing machine.

I'm not quite sure when the bug to make collage art bit me, but I know that it's gotten me. I have a box of magazine clippings, more magazines strewn about the floor, and I'm always looking . . .
