Check out these wonderful headbands made by the talented Heather Bailey. She has just started up her own blog where you can find the pattern for the headbands.

Oh, and Heather’s new line of fabric designs will be available from Free Spirit in the Fall.

A while ago I posted about the magic yarn ball, a sweet little project for people of all ages who love yarn, fiber, and trinkets. Several of you answered the call for a swap, and I emailed many of you, setting up an international trade via swap-bot.

There’s still time to join, and everyone is welcome. 60 of us are signed up so far, poised to make yarn gifts to send around the globe. Tomorrow is the last day to sign up, so please visit our swap-bot page and save the button above to your computer if you’d like to use it. I can’t wait to see what we all come up with.

And this great skirt by Nichola, whom, along with Rachael, recently started the awesome group blog Wardrobe Refashion whereI found this skirt, as well as the links to the two projects above.

I myself am not brave enough at the moment to take the wardrobe refashion pledge, but that doesn’t stop me from being inspired by the creative ideas showing up over there! There are so many more great projects already being posted on the site, from smocks, to tees, to hats, and the challenge hasn’t even officially begun. This round of wardrobe refashion officially begins on June 1st, and if your as excited as I am to see what great ideas people come up with, check it out over here.
