Cute Purse Pattern!
I found this really cute purse pattern on the Just One More Line... blog. This is something I would definitely use, it's perfect for a new spring/summer purse! I usually use the same purse all year round til it starts to fall apart then I buy a new one. Mainly cause I don't like to spend money on a purse, I can never find that perfect one that I love. Now I can make my own and have a collection!

How To Make A Headband
I found this really cool tutorial on How T Make A Headband on the Alteredcloth.com website. I never can seem to find the right looking headband at the store, this way I can create my own and actually wear it! I really need to invest in a sewing machine to make projects like this easier.

Safety Eyes
I've looked around at various craft supply stores, wal-mart, michaels, etc...and I can't find safety eyes. So I've had to opt for buttons to use for eyes. These eyes are perfect to use for toys they are extra safe if you are making something for a little kid. I found some that you can buy on etsy.com for pretty cheap. There are all different kinds you can buy too, not just black eyes.

Needlepoint Nintendo DS Case
I came across this needlepoint tutorial on how to create a case for your Nintendo DS. I don't have a Nintendo DS nor do I do needlepoint. I just learned how to crochet, I'm sure I could use the needle point pattern and create a pillow or blanket with this controller pattern. Or maybe if you make it large enough it could be a case for video games. This is just too cool looking!

Kiragami
I've started to get back into crafts lately since I've had the time to do it. I forgot how much I like to be crafty, I always created things when I was younger. It all started back up for me when I got a crochet kit, I learned how to do some simple stitches and created a scarf. I started searching for new patterns to work on my next project when I came across amigurumi. I love how these stuffed animals look they are so cool, I started to create my own collection. Well I just came across this site called Easy Cut Pop-Up, where you create Kiragami cards. They are the coolest thing and a cheap way to give someone a nice quality greeting card. I'm going to download the free template after I write this post, I was so excited about it I just had to blog about it right away!
