button jewelry

Crafting isn’t always about making nice things from the ground up. Sometimes it’s simply about finding already-nice things and putting them to nice, new use. Take buttons. They’re cute (as a button, of course), lightweight, colourful and come with tidy little holes for attaching them to stuff. They’re also small, which means you can have […]

Iconocraft & round cardboard display stands

This week’s post is a two-parter. I’ve got a tutorial for you, but first I want to tell you about the amazing crafting event I was at on Wednesday night.

easy peasy redecorated coasters

Today, dear readers, a quiz: What’s the first thing you do when preparing to move? Is it: A) Calmly assess your packing needs and begin to look for boxes.

moving – rediscovery of the good, the Elmer’s and the emo

For those of you wondering if I have fallen off the face of the earth, I have not. I’ve simply been moving. My boyfriend and I decided to leave behind our charming character apartment for a place with less charm but more elbow room, and a kitchen sink larger than a shoebox. (In a couple […]
