Hi everyone! Sorry it's been a while. There has been a lot of things going on, good and bad. The (very) bad thing is that we've been informed that our company is considering closing down their Gothenburg office, which means I'll probably be out of work in a month or so. And at the worst possible time, too! I'm very worried, but trying to stay positive.
The good thing is that I've been crafting away for several different Craftster swaps. Pictures coming soon! In the meantime I thought I'd share some of my favorite craft tutorials. This is the current top 5:
1. Make a baby food jar pincushion - This is a sweet little tutorial that CraftPudding posted a couple of weeks back, I can't wait to try it out. A great way to repurpose old glass jars!
2. Excellent bookbinding tutorial - This is a wonderful tutorial if you have ever wanted to try bookbinding but feel intimidated by all the tools and complex techniques out there. Clear instructions, helpful pics, and no expensive tools required!
3. Toadstool tutorial - I recently rediscovered this tute, it's great! Make a cute pincushion or ornament and decorate it to your heart's content! Author LucyKate even arranged a toadstool swap - see all the photos here.
4. Fabric ATC tutorial - This tute has some great tips and tricks for making fabric ATCs. I want to experiment more with non-paper ATCs as soon as I'm done with the Craftster Alphabet ATC swap.
5. Fabric Dollhouse Tutorial - I haven't had a chance to make this yet, but I had to share it anyway. Such an adorable idea!
That babyjar puncushion is the cutest! Thaks for your lovely crafty links!

I came across your blog yesterday and today I finished going all the way back to your first post. I love the memory quilt, I would like to try something like that out some day. I have never done anything with fabric apart from turning them into book covers. I suppose I shall have to learn how to use a sewing machine *grin*
ReplyDeleteThanks for these. I am always looking for great tutorials. Love your blog name.
ReplyDeleteaw, that's so tough and sad and scary! i'm sorry karin!

Hello Karin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my note cards on crafster! I'm sorry to hear you will be out of work soon. I know how unemployment feels. Cheer up and try to look at it as the opportunity to try new things: like open an Etsy shop! =P
