Suitable for those children who know very well what a snowflake is and may be caught inside by gazillions of them this January AND for those who can only imagine snowflakes falling.

we make money not art

we make money not art has some provocative content. Yes, the subtitle may put you off a bit, but scroll down. Sometimes I need a bit of shock/schlock to clean out all the history bits clining in my head. Then I can get back to "traditional" embroidery with a keen sense of why I am such a stick-in-the-mud.

Friendship bracelets

Friendship bracelets are still popular it seems. Here is a good set of instructions to make several different patterns. In the alternative these braids make great lanyards for ID cards, luggage tags, etc.

Incredible Pop Up Fun

Robert Sabuda shares his wonderful talent as a pop up book designer.

I adore pop up books and have several in my collection. I can see I need to print out and create at least one of his - his new OZ book. I am a Baum fan since childhood and relish the idea of creating my own OZ book.
