[caption id="attachment_2955" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="image copyright threadrare on etsy"][/caption] Are you ready for Spring? Here in Nebraska we've had a steady layer of snow for a couple of months now. It's getting old. I thought I'd lighten the mood around here by searching for some cute flower items on Etsy. A few of the items, including the In Bloom Magnolia and the owl amigurumi, come from my fellow Lincoln Handmade members. Etsy: Your place to buy... more » -
I haven't done a Stuff I Like post in a while so I thought I'd throw one out there today. I've got valentines on the brain because I'm trying to decide what to make with my kids for their classmates. This etsy mini didn't help too much, but I couldn't help but share some of the pretty items I found while browsing. Enjoy. Is one of your products featured? Grab an I've Been Featured button! This etsy mini has been replaced with a screen shot. ... more » -
I'm Kashoan, or as Christy likes to call me, the intern KraftyKash. As a kid I always enjoyed crafting. I made this button jar when I was in the 4th grade. I used a standard glass jar, cut up pieces of fabric and glued them on to the jar. What a great idea, huh? My Mom still has this jar. Maybe someday I will be famous and it will be displayed in a crafty museum....ok probably not. But a girl can always dream. Now that Im a Mom, I'm always trying to get my kids to do projects with me... more » -
This is one of my busiest times of year. I've got several big projects coming to a head and the Craft & Hobby Trade Show is next week. I'm not accomplishing all that I want/need to but I can't help but feel grateful for all my blessings. I might not be able to whip something up to auction off at this time, but I do want to help spread the word about a new website dedicated to raising money through crafts for the people of Haiti. Please consider donating a handcrafted item or pur... more »

I seriously underestimated what my energy level might be after working for Provo Craft the week before Christmas. My five days of gift ideas have turned into three. Of all of them, I think this one is the most crucial! The stocking is a great place to put all sorts of little goodies that crafters will go crazy for! Husband (s), take note! 1. Gelly Roll Glitter Pens What crafter wouldn't want to write (or embellish) with glitter? 2. Wintery Glitter from Martha Stewart ... more » -
Day 2 of gift guides include stuff for the techies in your life. I most certainly consider myself a member of this crowd. I'm a computer nerd that loves crafts. [caption id="attachment_2686" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="photo copyright Craftsquatch"][/caption] 1. Twitter Pillow from Craftsquatch.etsy.com This first item is perfect for any crafty geek in your life. You can purchase one of these on Etsy for $20 but I'm sure most of my readers (at least here at this sit... more » -
This week I'm posting some gift guides. They'll also be cross posted on my personal site so they aren't all craft related. There will be at least one homemade item per list. Today we've got gifts for foodies. Enjoy! 1. Taste of Italy gift set from Vervacious: Voyage Inspired Fancy Foods At $50 this is a little out of range for a hostess gift (at least for me!) but if you're shopping for an adventurous chef wanna-be, this could be a great option. Vervacious has so many differ... more » -

[caption id="attachment_2475" align="alignleft" width="360" caption="image via flickr"][/caption] Christmas is coming and I'm sure you're all on the lookout for that perfect Christmas sweater. The most outrageous, the better, in my opinion! This year, I need your help. I love Neil Diamond. What does that have to do with Christmas sweaters? Well, this year Neil (we're on a first name basis after our "encounter" a couple of years ago) is holding a contest and the prize is a trip to... more » -
I am so in the market for new place mats. We recently purchased a new dining room set and I want to keep it looking nice for as long as possible. [caption id="attachment_2468" align="aligncenter" width="248" caption="photo image from Sears.com"][/caption] I have a tablecloth but the kids are prone to hanging on it and then the whole dinner comes tumbling down. I'm pretty sure I'd like to make my own place mats but I went searching on Etsy for some inspiration and ideas. There are so ... more »
