Vintage Christmas Crafts: The Tussie Mussie and the Language of Flowers

December 15, 2020 by Carolyn Wainscott Leave a Comment

When I think of a Tussie Mussie, my first thought is of a Christmas decoration filled with potpourri or a small gift hanging on a Christmas tree. They’d hang alongside other vintage Christmas crafts like strings of popcorn, candles, corn husk angels and hand-cut paper snowflakes, back before we could run out to a mega […]

One-Skein Crochet Pattern: Halfway Harvest Hat

November 4, 2020 by Marie Segares Leave a Comment

Halfway Harvest Hat, free #crochet pattern by Marie Segares @ucrafter

I’m Marie Segares from Underground Crafter. One of my favorite crochet tricks is to work into the back loop of the half double crochet stitch. It creates a classic look very similar to the stockinette stitch in knitting. The bulk of this easy one-skein crochet pattern is crocheted with the half double crochet in the […]

Victorian-Era Style: DIY Little Girl’s Fur Muff with Matching Doll Fur Muff

August 20, 2020 by Carolyn Wainscott Leave a Comment

#DoYouRemember Sunday afternoon strolls in the park in your very best finery? Parasols, velocipedes, horses and buggies? Top hats, long flowing dresses and cloaks? Well, I may be old, but neither do I. My birthday happened much later than the Victorian era, when Momma wore a beautiful chapeau and instead of gloves, daughter had her […]

As an artist, I find myself spending time looking at trends in and out of my wheelhouse—trends in home decor, clothing, kitchens, art, and design.  I read magazines, check blogs, visit websites, and even brave watching some design shows to stay up on what is happening.  Sometimes I see color combinations that inspire a project.  […]

Recycled Craft: Faux Wooden Flower Pot

July 27, 2020 by Benetta Strydom Leave a Comment

Use a clever painting technique to turn an old plastic pot into a little work of art. Once done, the pot will look as if it has been covered with plywood. Add jute ribbon, a small succulent, some pebbles, and a pot that was previously ready to be thrown out, has received a new lease […]

I recently learned about this new trend called “Pocket Letter Pals.” Have you heard of it? Well, it’s essentially a modern day twist on what we used to call “Pen Pals,” the twist being that this form of snail mail is done with participants who not only share a liking of regular mail but are […]
