The Best of DIY

Betz White is such a talented designer and crafter, this Etch-A Sketch laptop cozy made out of felt is just one of her latest creations. There are so many cute things you can create with felt! Check out her cupcakes, she has an etsy shop where you can purchase them.

I came across this really neat woven lined paper and had to share. I don’t know how to use a tapestry loom, but I was thinking of trying to crochet one of these, it could make a really neat blanket.

I found another neat way you can re-use vintage suitcases, make a small table out of them! I found a quick tutorial on Curbly on how to make these cute tables. I love the round green suitcase, with the legs it looks like a stool.

Do you find your cat sleeping on your luggage after you get back from a trip? After I empty out my suitcase I just let my cat make a bed on it. I thought it would be great to actually make a bed for him out of a suitcase. Well, I found a tutorial that shows you how to make your pet an old suitcase bed.

La la la la la la, la la la la la la. I love Katamari, it is the most addicting game! I could not believe it when I saw this crochet pattern for a baby bonnet. What a cool Halloween costume this would make! I can’t believe there are other people out there like me who’s played Katamari and crochets!

Tropical storm Fay has been sitting in my neck of the woods for the past two days. I’ve been cooped up inside trying not to get soaked and I’ve had time to finish up a crochet project. I made this flower scarf in two days, it will be a birthday present for my mom. I know it’s still summer but it’ll be cold soon up north and a scarf will be needed. I got the pattern for this scarf in the Stitch N’ Bitch Happy Hooker book, love that book. A while back I posted about a handbag I crocheted for a mother’s day present, well the flower on the handbag actually matches the scarf.
