Crocheted Pouf Pattern

I love poufs!  They’re perfect for rainy days in front of the fire or the window with a glass of whatever you like best and some good music (^_^).  They’re also great for just about everything else sitting and or lounging related!  Pickles has shared her pattern for this magical pouf with us and you should definitely check out the site since there’s a ton of really great projects on there!  Click here for the pouf pattern.

Crochet Bag Pattern and Broomstick Crochet Tutorial

I am a NUT for handbags!  It’s kind of an illness at this point, but with therapy, the support of friends and family and only buying purses at Goodwill… Ok, that’s a little more extreme than the actual reality, but I do love handbags and if there’s one thing I love more than buying new handbags, it’s making them!  As soon as I saw this bag I knew that I had to share and since I have enough cotton thread around my house to open my own store, it’s high time I started making more cool things with it.  Click here for this great pattern and tutorial.

I’m sure everyone has seen this project by now since it’s being reblogged by so many people, but I just had to share in the off chance that there was someone out there who hadn’t seen this awesome project that would end up really liking it.  I wouldn’t rest well thinking that there was someone missing out on something like this, so here, my friends, here it is.  Click here to view this LEGO keyring project; the site is in two languages, just scroll down for English.

Flower Pounding Printing

Anything that involves a little violence and a lot of artsy is my cup of tea so this flower pounding printing project is right up my alley.  Venting frustrations and creating beautiful works of art are two very important practices of mine and as far as I’m concerned, doing them both at the same just saves energy.  Click here for Garden Therapy’s awesome how-to on this super cool project for kids of all ages.

DIY Recharge Station

In the last few years I have seen hundreds, if not thousands, of recharge station DIY projects and though I absolutely love the concept, none of them really grabbed my attention.  Until, that is, now.  Tasha has found a way to turn an ordinary shoe box into a work of art that won’t make my apartment fell like I’ve filled my home with dumpster dive finds.  Not to say that there aren’t people out there that don’t make wonderful items or even homes out of dumpster dive finds, I am just not one of those people.  Click here for Tasha’s wonderful and easy project!
