A screenshot of my winning project photo on marthastewart.com You can check out the rest of the winners in the photo gallery. I designed this crocheted Ipod Case last year for the nano 1+2, right before the nano 3 came out (the tiny square model). It is fully functional so you can use it while it's tucked away safely inside... Now that the new nano 4 is back to the original design

I had two oak picture frames that were in desperate need of a makeover... They were the dollar store variety that came with a paper print of yucky pink and country blue flowers glued behind the frame. Removing the paper print destroyed the paper, but the frames were perfectly salvageable. A little sand paper and a little black craft paint gave them new life! I think a simple 4x6 illustration

The Renegade Fair @ McCarren Park in Brooklyn was a nice time. Here are my goodies... This cotton canvas bunny lunch bag from: The Argyle Whale + a typewriter key necklace from: The Weekend Store I forgot to take pictures because it was really crowded and I was busy visiting all the neat booths, but if you saw me, I was the chick with the black tank, cargo pants and red stained lips from eating

Well maybe not as major as a plastic leg lamp, but I'm certainly giddy over it... I entered a Calling All Crafters photo contest on MarthaStewart.com and... I am a WINNER! One of 10 to be exact, to win a copy of Martha's new book: Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts ...and out of thousands of entries, not to mention it was a judged contest... well, I'm pretty darn psyched :D I

I treated myself to a couple of new books this holiday weekend... The Dressmaker's Technique Bible by Lorna Knight + Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross Weekend Sewing is one of the few project books that completely captured my interest. I want to make everything in this book! It has 40+ inspirational patterns for lovely items such as summer dresses, shirts, pajamas, a small clutch, slippers,

As much as I love real candles, they scare me a bit... I have too many shelves and surfaces that are close to draperies, bathroom towels, angled walls and lamp shades. So, flameless candles have been the next best thing! I'm especially adoring the Wisp Flameless Candle by Glade... with a frosted glass votive, battery operated mechanism, 3 scent release settings, touch on/off and a soft

I purchased my first Bunny Abode by Leith Petwerks in 1997. I was so pleased with the company that I've been a repeat customer for over 12 years! If you have a rabbit or know someone who does, check them out, I HIGHLY recommend their products! Buy before May 31st and get in on the Memorial Day Sale on the Double Level Bunny Abode (as seen modeled here by Maybelline a 4 lb dwarf bun).

If you have yet to come across the work of Russian artist, Natasha Fadeeva, I highly recommend a visit to her online gallery of handmade stuffed animals. She currently developing a computer video game (not yet available in the US) based on her stuffed animals (see above photo). These mice are my favorites!

The CPSC finally published a guide for the home-based crafter / small business owner, and those of us who don't keep a lawyer on retainer to translate legal mumbo jumbo into plain english ;) For the layperson, the meat and potatoes of it is this...

There aren't many (or should I say, "any") specialty yarn stores in my area and as a result I rely heavily on the internet, Joann Fabrics, Michael's and AC Moore to stock supplies.

Years ago I remember seeing an interview with Billy Joel during which he spoke about his "methods" of song writing. He said that every so often he would wake from a deep sleep with a song or musical composition in his head. He kept a notepad and blank tablature sheets next to his bed to write down these spontaneous inspirations... sometimes they were entire songs! It sounded strange... that you

I'm in the process of building up my Fall line of hats and accessories and I'll be re~naming some of my styles to better organize my shop and patterns.

For anyone looking to put a personalized label on their handmade work, these products are just great... This is not an iron-on transfer kit, the cotton satin fabric sheets go directly into your ink-jet printer. Just design your labels on your computer and print up a multitude directly on the cotton satin sheet. Soak them in luke warm water for 10 min and peel off the protective layer, let dry

I found her on the forum at thisisblythe.com.This Is Blythe is THE source for Blythe info, history, and sale listings. The forums cover every topic from clothing to customizing tutorials.

If you've never tried spinning your own yarn, an easy and inexpensive way to start is with a drop spindle. Drop spindles come in a variety of sizes and materials but the most common is the basic wooden spindle. The drop spindle can be either top whorl (whorl on the top, hook on the top) or bottom whorl (whorl on the bottom, hook on the top). Here is a very simple and inexpensive way to make

This little washcloth puppy has been trying to wiggle his way into my blog for sometime now... I was waiting until I found just the right terry cloth for the final pattern but alas, I've been too busy for fabric hunting :( So Pup is just peeking in to say hello and I'm sure you'll see him again soon when he introduces all his new friends ;)Have a great Monday...

Today in the mail, arrived my "new" sketch book.This repurposed, recycled, rebound, book is from Etsy seller, VintagePaperWorks. The cover, an illustration from 1972 by Erik Blegvad, reminds me of my own room as a child in the upstairs of a cape cod. This repurposed book is chock full of heavy weight cardstock in bright punchy colors, and the seller has included some of the book's original pages

I finally invested in a scale to weigh my packages at home. I always over estimate weight because I figure "better to ship with more postage than too little", but as a result, I end up paying for some of the shipping cost myself... no more! This little scale cost me a whopping $5.00 at Linens n' Things and is perfect for my needs since most of my items are under 1lb. Here is little Swimmy

To the right is my very first attempt at "broomstick" crochet. I purchased the standard size 50 plastic knitting needle... It was awkward at first. The needle is so big, I didn't quite know how to hold it and a third hand would have been helpful. I ended up sitting pretzel style with the needle standing upright through the back of my knee. A table clamp would have been handy but once I had my

I've created this crochet version in the same style and color scheme as the one worn by Lyra as she trekked through the North in Svalbard. I've seen several knit versions of this hat,

She has beautiful features, sparkly green eyes, long lashes, *almost* perfect skin, a 22" head circumference, perfect for hat displays... AND she was a bargain at just $20. She is actually an accident victim; gash in her eyebrow and lower lid, but nothing that can't be touched up with a little paint. I

I've been debating whether or not to use a mannequin as a model for my clothing accessories, hats in particular. Here's a list of the options I've found and my thoughts on each... (feel free to comment please). Foam Heads - I see lots of styrofoam heads out there modelling hats these days. Pros - They're cheap and light-weight, and their stark white faces certainly don't compete with the

Yesterday was my school's Thanksgiving Feast. Each class sets up tables in the hallway adorned with a tablecloth, and a place setting for each child with their handmade place mats. Parents come to help serve the kids, and while they eat, the adults chit chat. It was a nice time to meet parents and break up the usual monotony of the day. But then it happened, the inevitable when you work with kids

The term "frog" or "frogging" is a verb used in knitting and crochet. The term refers to the unraveling of stitches. When you frog something you pull the yarn to undo stitches, rows, etc. In simple terms, you're ripping your stitches (rip-it), hence the cute name. Frogging is usually done to back-track or correct a mistake. Frogging can also happen by accident; your unfastened yarn catches on

This is Buddy. He was just a skinny little baby, when the ping pong ball landed in his bowl at the carnival. That night I got a call asking if I'd like to give him a home... There he was, just sitting on the dining room table in a little jelly jar with a purple ribbon. Poor little fella. He fit right into my cup holder. I pulled my Eclipse tank out of storage and Buddy's new home was ready in
