Thank you Grace for the sock owl tutorial – I love it: This is a simple tutorial for when anyone just fancy making something at the spur of the moment. It doesn’t require much material, just leftover or old socks will do. It’s also easy as a project for kids (old enough to handle a [...]

there is a new craft blog on the scene and this one is dedicated to all the handy and crafty blokes out there.
ManMadeDIY.com is a new crafting website that doesn’t presume its readers are female. It’s a home for men excited about crafts, art, design, home décor, and food. Men for whom “making” means more than soldering, and who proudly store their knitting needles next to their circular saws.
I am sort of loving the recycled paint tin pendant lights and they have a free downloadable poster ‘happiness is a hot glue gun’ + lots of other great stuff including tool tips, grammar help + crafty haiku.
A totally sweet card from Janice (I can’t find her wrapping paper online, but it is AMAZING). Link to download.
come join our whipup flickr pool and see what’s happening – some valentines craftiness.
