You finish your crafty to-do list only to realize that you haven't baked yet. Revise current recipes or select new recipes that have at least one ready made ingredent such as puff pastry or prepackaged crust.

Your Flutter Sleeve Cardigan came out great. This pattern has been on my list since I first saw the preview.

I love being able to do more than one craft. It's so much fun. I'm always learning which is a passion of mine. Everything in your pictures look good. Have you tried journaling. It's related to scapebooking but it can be as wild or as tame as you want it to be.

What a sweet story. The quilt is adorable. It's so funny how Jill had a great idea but didn't realize it.

I really like this. I seen the technique before but this has given me new motivation. I must learn to sew!

Thanks for the walk away rule. I'll remember that for my next troublesome project. I don't sew yet. I'm intrested in how you restyled a pair of jeans into a skirt. I can't wait to see the whole skirt the embroidery is gorgeous.

This is very helpful. Acouple of years ago a LYS had a Yoga for Knitter's Class. At that time I didn't knit or crochet so I didn't get to go to the class. I wish I did.

Crochet By Faye website is full of inspiration. The designs I've seen from Blueprint Crochet look great. My only concern is will the size range of the pattrns work for me.

This is very pretty. Most restyling/reconstruction projects I've seen are geared toward the very slim or very young. This project works for anyone. It would be good to see more of this. It's refreshing to see more restyling projects that work for all body types and ages.

I just taught myself the chain stitch. I'm looking forward to the your crochet posts and the learning process.

I don't know how to sew but it's on my list of things to learn. I've found that learning is a life long process. That skirt is so cute. Maybe one day I could make something similar.

I would like to see more on how to begin paper crafts. There are so many tools and materials that it seems overwhealming. I'm most intrested in journal making/ book binding.
