It’s not as perfect and tidy as the original, but I think it turned out great and it serves it’s purpose.
You can make your own recycled phone book desktop organizer with this tutorial over at chica and jo.
While browsing through the new Easy Living mag I came across this image of an adorable knitted clock by Andrea Williamson. I went to her site to check it out and unfortunately, there’s no image of the clock, but there are of her many other lovely things.
Check her out. She’s fabulous.
Do something wonderful this holiday season.
Hope for Jasenn is a fundraising shop to help Jasenn and his family in their fight against kidney cancer. The shop will be open through December 15th at midnight, then will close briefly for the holidays (so that hopefully all packages will arrive on time) and reopen Jan 2. It is run by Linda, Jasenns sister in law and 100% of the profits from every item sold in this shop will be donated to Jasenn, Ann and their son Tegue to help with their everyday expenses. All of the items in this shop have been donated by generous crafters and friends.
YOU can help by making a purchase there, donating your own handmade items or you can make a monetary contribution here at Lindas blog.
I admit it, I’ve always been a little intimidated by sewing machines. Machines in general, really. My mom tried to teach me how to sew on her god knows how old sewing machine when I was younger. I listened, but in my head I was screaming, “TOO MANY STEPS!”. heh
But, oh joy, how happy was I to see this! A sewing machine you can control via Gameboy!? That sounds just doable to me.
“This system includes the IZEK sewing machine, Nintendo® Game Boy® , connection wire and a special cartridge that contains stitch pattern designs. The Game Boy’s on-screen menu will guide you through all the functions you need to make sewing fun and easy.”
