Nerd Bling

Looking to put a little computer cred into your accessory collection? Check out this blog I found, full of geek gems and jewels. My favorites are below. I’m pretty sure you could make the one on the far right with a Shrinky-Dink.

Cute as a Button

Hello again. I was cruising the internet and I came across this fun project. Not to be completed in one afternoon, this button back chair is snazzy (yes, I know. Only myself and your great grandmother use the word snazzy) but will most likely leave you bleary eyed. If your anything like me (read: anal) you’ll spend hours arranging, and rearranging your buttons, looking for that perfect pattern.  At least, in the end, you’ll have a one of a kind piece.

Cupid Has Shot Me

Looking for more crafts to adore? Check out Pack Rat Magazine Issue #2

I am in love with a sweet little number on the NexStitch Crochet patterns called “Cupid’s Clutch” pictured below. It’s rose color and the big bow just stir something girlie within me. The patterns a pretty affordable, only $2.50 for this clutch, and you can download them immediately in pdf format. Plus, they have a smattering of free crochet tutorial videos to get novices like me started. I think I might pick up a crochet hook tonight and get started.
