Crafty Project Want-To-Make Roundup

I've seen quite a few blog posts lately with some super fun crafts that I can't wait to make. Here are my three faves from this last week:

Repurpose a Tank Top to Make a Fun Bag

Do you have old tank tops that you're just not feeling anymore? Tired of your purses but don't have money to buy a new one? This project is so easy even the most non-crafty crafter wannabes will be able to pull it off. Check it out here.



Make Cool Jewelry From Sea Glass
Gail's tutorial on Can't Stop Making Things makes these fancy and intimidating-looking pendants look super easy to make. I think these would make great gifts. Get your Christmas crafting started now!



Stenciled Canvas Bag

This project uses a paper doily as a stencil. Stenciling normally makes me yawn, but I really thing this bag is super cool looking. I can think of several people who this would make the perfect gift for. Check out the tutorial on TidyMom's website here.


Do any of these appeal to you, too? Have you found any sweet craft ideas lately that you can't wait to try? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I'm back...I hope

As I posted on Facebook yesterday, I aspire to get back to blogging (I know, I know, I've said this before). Having a wee one has consumed most of my time, though, as I'm sure any parent can sympathize. I've also been a bit hesitant to blog because most of my blog ideas lately have been super baby related. And I'm supposed to be a "knitting, cupcake and misc. craftiness" blog. I'm not sure how many people want to hear rants about the 10 reasons I've recently been accused of being a hippie a parent.

The more I thought about it, though, I've realized that I've evolved as a person (I'm now a mom...and apparently a "weird hippie mom") and so my blog will need to evolve, too. I'm still crafty but I think about more than just knitting and cupcakes now. I hope you bear with me as I (attempt to) blog through my thought process and possibly even re-discover my blogging identity.
