DIY (MYO) Vest

I got this interesting idea for making a “waistcoat” from an old blazer from a post on www.buzznet.com.  Click here for the specific post by Lefran.  Hats off to her for her creativity and for doing something other than just toss her old clothes.

Junk Creation and Scrap Booking–They both use scraps!

The above scrapbookesque (maybe a word and maybe not, but I like it) Junk Creation plaque came about because I realized that I said I’d show people how to make paper–back in May!  Oops.  Here’s a small payment on my earlier promise.  I say small because this is a quick and dirty way to make paper, but [...]
