How to make felted wool pins
http://procrastinationdiary.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-to-make-felted-wool-pins.html
Wednesday, February 2, 2011. How to make felted wool pins. I've been making so many of these pins this week, I thought I'd better take some photographs and do a tutorial. even though they are so easy, really, as to not need much instruction. Two felted shapes (in this case hearts) that are cut exactly the same. A darning needle and length of yarn that's even longer than you think you're going to need. Compliments of the awesome Stitch School. And that's about it. You may find they're rather addictive.

How to make a hugging pillow
http://procrastinationdiary.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-to-make-hugging-pillow.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. How to make a hugging pillow. This Valentine's Day, I thought it would be fun to use up some of my softest felted sweaters on a pair of hugging pillows. It would have taken maybe 4 hours tops including photography time if I hadn't gotten distracted by a pair of cats, but more on that later. In addition to thread and a sewing machine you will need:. A set of nesting mixing bowls you are comfortable running a rotary cutter around. A rotary cutting mat and cutters. I did that beca...

Curator - of a cottage
http://procrastinationdiary.blogspot.com/2012/03/curator-of-cottage.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. Curator - of a cottage. Do you remember the cottage I visited last summer? I wrote about that visit here. And also about a special chair. Well, guess what? It is now mine. Until some papers passed under all our hands over the winter, the cottage belonged to my aunt and uncle, who bought it about 40 years ago. When I was a little girl I visited every summer for a week, the most blissful weeks of my childhood. They have always been the best. I am so excited. Owning a memory in antic...

Wednesday, April 11, 2012. A mouse in the house (and how to get rid of it). Very early this morning I woke to sounds that - for a few wonderful moments - I thought might mean nothing more than an expensive repair to my dishwasher. There were poppings and scrapings and clinkings, as when metal collides, or glass (which is what made me think: dishwasher, yay! Sadly no. There was a mouse under the stove, and then in the drawer of the stove, and then back under the stove. How to Get Rid of Mice. Total turnof...

Saturday, February 25, 2012. Lately I've needed to have a couple of freshly sharpened pencils in my purse, which has been a Problem. Because frankly, does anybody really want graphite marks in the purse lining, or holes poked through it? Which is why I was attracted to a recycled pencil case project. From Craftzine.com by Tiffany Threadgould. Then I thought of two small friends down the block who might like one too. This project is a great excuse for bringing out Japanese masking tape. Yum! Maybe best no...

When the grass isn't greener

Wednesday, March 7, 2012. When the grass isn't greener. When you have a problem you have two choices:. Sometimes the emotional upheaval of the problem is a problem in itself, which leaves you with two choices:. A/ talk about it. Unless the issue is 'We're Out Of Chocolate! And you happen to be having too much chocolate anyway, b/ is always the wrong answer, 'kay? Trust me on this - the problem just gets way worse. The trick to a/ though is to find the right listener.

Valentine Fun: secret message tissue holders
http://procrastinationdiary.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentine-fun-secret-message-tissue.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Valentine Fun: secret message tissue holders. I got a little overenthusiastic last week about making purse-sized tissue holders with my new Bernina. But can you blame me? This project is from a tutorial for Sew, Mama, Sew! Who offers three different variations on the theme. Erika. Who is responsible for my buying the Bernina in the first place - thank you Erika! Added a twist in the form of a carry strap. You want to know how I did it? End of Upcycling Tip *. I cut the messages...

A six-sentence story for tax season
http://procrastinationdiary.blogspot.com/2012/03/six-sentence-story-for-tax-season.html
Friday, March 2, 2012. A six-sentence story for tax season. A girl slightly dizzy from too much tea stood alone in a scary room. The table in front of her was invisible under stacks of paper; so was the piano, and the buffet, and several chairs. Now that it was all out, she had lost her enthusiasm for advance tax preparation! And there was no space left to sit down or spread out a different, much more fun project! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Because it takes longer. DIY hall closet organizer.
