Giant Lonestar Quilt Block Using Fleece
When you've been wanting to make quilts for years, and finally take a few baby steps forward with that dream, starting with very simple quilt projects is certainly a good idea, so when I saw a pattern for a giant lonestar baby quilt, wherein the whole blanket is just one traditional quilt panel, I just had to give it a try. And since I was in need of a present for my husband's birthday, I figured I'd make a few panels and make a twin sized quilted fleece blanket! And surprise surprise, I did actually finish the project, so do take a look at my giant lonestar quilt using fleece.…

Giant Party Hats
Giant cardboard party hats are the perfect thing to make when you want to make a statement with festive decorations for a birthday party, or in our case the upcoming Jewish holiday of Purim, but you don't have a huge amount of time to invest. Make them in a few sizes, and place them in the middle of the table as a fun centerpiece. Next time I think I'll go with solid colors and huge white polka dots and a yarn or plastic bag pom pom on top. I'll let you in on a littel secret though, I have actually used these hats as Purim party decorations for our community…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to craft schooling Sunday, so wonderful to have you here! As you'll see from the features, last week's party was really full of great inspiration, and a very well-rounded selection of projects, I must add.

As part of trying to make this party a personal place to connect with other crafters from around the world, I have started to not only specify country of origin, but for the USA contributors to specify actual state of residence, which is really so much fun! This week we have features from Washington,…

Crochet Mini Mandala Stash Buster Pattern
Crocheted mini mandalas are the perfect stash buster and especially if you happen to have some cheerful spring colors that need a purpose! Of course, then you may just find yourself in my predicament, which is now what? Namely, not quite sure how to use these little guys, since at 16.5 cm in diameter they are too big to be coasters. I was thinking about a wall hanging, or maybe even using them as appliques on pillow cases for the Passover seder. Maybe I just need to take my own advice and consult my list of how to use crocheted mandalas!

Milk Carton Craft For Kids: Fun Animal Desk Organizers
Looking for a fun craft for kids (or to make for kids) that is just truly adorable? You've found it! This milk carton craft that results in the cutest little milk carton animal boxes is truly a keeper, and requires minimal supplies. So save those milk cartons (I was driving my family crazy with a cabinet stuffed full of them) and have fun creating a whole menagerie. The more the better, and while they make great little desk or craft cubby organizers, you can also use them as sweet party favor boxes, or in our case, to hold little edible gifts for our Purim shaloch manos, or as we generally…
