“Rhett, Rhett, Where shall I go? What shall I do?”

“Frankly my dear, I think you should read Pack Rat Magazine.”

Today is a day for craft tutorials.  It’s raining/snowing where I am and what better way to enjoy the gray weather then to say indoors with a project?  An extra way to cheer up a gray day would be to paint an old pair of night stands or chests a bright lime green?  If you agree, check out this fun tutorial from J. Caroline Creative.  I completely adore the graphic fabric decoupage.  It’s so…va-va-voom.

Pack Rat Magazine, we will dance, dance to the revolution.

Hiya. Here’s a project for all you seamstresses and seamstressers out there who love to look and something cute and say “awwwwww.” Go ahead a make yourself one of these adorable little mice from Sewing Stars creator, Teresa Levy.  They just look so squeezable!

Pack Rat Magazine. Yeah, we said it. Now what?

Here’s a quick tip for all of you crocheters out there. Check out MYpicot. I am by no means a master crocheter, but good gravy after seeing some of their patterns I want to be one. Their stuff is beatiful, like the flowers and butterfly below. They have a library of free patterns as well as patterns and yarn for sale. And, some of their customers have sent them pictures of crochet pieces they have found at thrift stores, and the gurus at MYpicot have been able to recreate the patterns and make them available to the rest of us to follow. Plus, they have a blog. What more could you possible want?
