nature projects!

.. and by nature I mean city scraps.

these cement blocks were found in an alley way-
and flowers were picked in a yard (sorry).
And then i mod podged 'em so they would be pretty forever.

i found a big stick and i love it hanging on my wall..
i attached some feathers..
but i wanna add some knitted scraps.

yes.. this is my saturday night.

mini quilts !

Why are mini quilts so popular - here are just a few reasons:

1. Quilting can be intimidating - however the small format of the mini quilt means they are a much more attainable goal and the perfect way to gain some quilting confidence

2. Mini Quilts are a great way to use up scraps but also perfect to use your fancy expensive small pieces of fabric

3. Many people don't have the time or patience to finish a large quilt but as they love quilting a mini quilt is an achievable project. They are perfect for those with short attention spans.

4. Mini quilts are the perfect way to hone your quilting skills and test out new techniques

Mini quilts are very popular at the moment - there are flickr doll quilt swaps and mini quilt weekly memes and themes. Quilters and crafters just love showcasing their latest mini project - where they have been able to work through a design concept, or trial a new technique within a short time frame and get feedback from their peers. I blame the internet for the current mini quilt craze - which has turned out to have more longevity than a simple craft fad. As more and more crafters discover the art of quilting and find the satisfaction that can be gained from sewing bits of fabric to other bits of fabric and adding their creative personality to the piece, they are able to grow in confidence and try new things - I just don't see this going away any time too soon.

inspiration

right now i'm into floral designs...

A line is a dot that went for a walk.

I collect things all the time.
I should start saving and organizing.. it could become a new project!

Or I could use my collected items to make things...
Like cardboard boxes to make a new office space!

I wanna be little again!

spring cleaning, refesh and design!

Printed wallpapers can make a small space even
more cozy and inviting, while obscuring its confining boundaries.

I've always loved trunks.
Mine has been hidden in my closet but these
photos are good inspiration for trunks.

Small kitchen spaces can still hold a lot!

Bathrooms too...

Grey/Gray couches are my new favorite item!
they go with gray, or any color you desire!

apartment therapy has some really good suggestions for small apartment spaces!

Do It Yourself Hammock !!

Weave construction materials—which won’t fade or absorb water—into a truly comfortable spot for lounging.

1. Cut fencing into two 30×74-inch pieces, trimming the outside squares so that weaving has an edge. Lay out a rectangle with all conduit pieces, attaching elbows to create the “loom.”

2. Overlap both pieces of snow fencing so squares alternate. Lay on floor in center of conduit frame.

3. Unroll cording and mark the middle of each spool. The middle will be your starting point for each row of weaving.

4. Hold the middle of one piece of nylon cording. Loop the middle of cording once around top corner of a 30-inch side of conduit frame. Weave cording in and out of snow fencing going down the long side. Keep tension even.

5. At bottom, repeat loop around conduit and weave back up. Repeat to make four complete passes.

6. Tie off end of nylon cording using a standard square knot (Google it for how-to). Leave 3-4 feet of excess to be used later.

7. Repeat same weaving process on opposite side of snow fencing and in the middle of snow fencing. Weave any additional rows to create desired pattern. Tie all ends with square knots.

8. Cut remaining nylon cording into two 37-foot pieces. Take the center of each and place one at each center of the short sides of your conduit. Wrap one strand of cording around right side of conduit (to secure fencing and hide conduit) and the other strand around left side of conduit. Tie off with a square knot.

9. With all cording tied off, create “triangle” shape at each end (to hang hammock from) by pulling excess cording together at each side evenly, holding cording 1-1½ feet from conduit, and tying into a large knot.

10. Create a second loop knot ½ inch away (so you can hang it). Repeat on the other side.

11. Unscrew metal conduit elbows from frame and remove 74-inch lengths of conduit.

12. Find trees and hang your hammock!
