Pour Art Tutorial

Have you seen the technique for pour art? I am just now seeing this around the web...AMAZING!!! Looks like fine art that only the super talented can achieve. Seeing how this is accomplished makes me feel that I can actually pull this one off!!! With some acrylic house paint (and a little metallic paint if you like), you can have a work of art in no time at all!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Upcycle Fall

Well Fall is still with many of you. Our leaves are gone now, but it still feels like fall. If you still need to add a little bit more fall items to your decorating why not check out some of these Etsy stores and look at the way they have upcycled items. 


Need something to put on that shelf or mantel? Why not put these containers from aGirlaDogandPumpkin on there. 

I think this upcycled fruit basket from BloomingMoonDesigns could be used to put lots of pine cones in it and set it by your front door so when people are entering your house they could see them. Especially if you use the scented ones. 

Here is another nice upcycled item to put on your shelf. It is made from an old cookie tin. I love the colors on this. It is from CraftsByJoyice.

Oooooooo......I remember these bedspreads! My grandmother had them all over the house and I am old so you know how long that has been. ReKindled Pleasures has this really nice one. I think it turned out really nice! :)

So if you still want to add a few items to your home there are several on Etsy. Take a look.

Christmas Stocking Tutorial

Today's Christmas Stocking tutorial can be found on Melissa's blog, Sew Like My Mom. These stockings are so nice and big and can be filled to the brim literally. They are designed so that if you need a little more room for all the goodies, you can turn up the cuff to make them a little taller. For the pattern, instructions and some great pictures, simply click on the photo above.

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Witches Hat Tutorial

Witches are a big part of the Halloween tradition. Now I don't how many of you have Halloween parties at your house, but if you do I think these little witches hats from Smile Mercantile Craft Company would be a great party item. Looks pretty simple too. :)

Happy crafting!
