Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Making Easy Handmade Soap

I have a friend that makes some of the nicest handmade soaps and they are so pretty, but when she tells me the steps to making this soap I think.....whoaaaa......that is a lot of work. So I thought I would look for an "easy" way to make soap and share it with you. This tutorial is from Kris over at Creative Me Inspired You.  She has this tutorial on how to make easy honey oatmeal soap. Why not give it a try. 

Have fun!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Polymer Clay Pumpkin Tutorial

The pumpkin is a staple of Fall and Halloween. Now, I do not do ceramics or sculpturing of any kind, but I thought some of you out there may do it or dabble in it so I thought I would find a video tutorial to show us how to make cute little polymer clay pumpkins. I found this tutorial fromSugarCharmShop. I have a friend that does lots of Christmas ornaments with little animals and they are so cute so now I know how she does it. Have fun!

Happy creating!
