Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Wishing all of you Americans living in the USA a wonderful 4th of July weekend filled with quality family time, and just some good old summer fun! Oh and don't forget to think about the actual meaning of the holiday and discuss it with your kids and significant others!
Last week\s party was packed full of amazing contributions from bloggers from around the world, and I'm sure you'll appreciate the features just as much as I do. This week you'll learn how to marble plant pots with nail polish, how to turn solar garden lights into wonderful looking additions to your garden, how to sew a quick water repellant picnic blanket, how to make a simple wooden hanger for any poster, a flag from paint chips and even some fabulous shrink plastic magnets, to mention just a few of the features. With all this inspiration that main thing is to take these ideas and get crafting, whatever the results may be!
Even if you make something and don't like it at all, the time was not wasted. I recently read that an artist needs to paint at least 500 paintings before they can begin to really create, or that one needs to spend 10,000 hours doing that thing you want to do well before you can say you really know how to do it! Not to discourage you, but to just get my point across that the doing is more important than the end result. And on that note, lets take a look at those features from last week:
Adorable crocheted strawberries from Anne Marie, and marbled pots from a pretty fix.
A granny square pillow from chris in de Haak, and a fun tea pot garden ornament from the navage patch.
A 15 minute picnic blanket from flamingo toes, and a fun crocheted cowl from the stitchin mommy.
Summer Ice cream party from clean and scentsible, and printable ice cream wraps from home cooking memories.
Knit checkerboard socks from Ginx craft, and a wrist pin cushion from tea and a sewing machine.
A magnetic map board from pillar box blue, and shrink plastic magnets also from pillar box blue.
A DIY poster hanger from the logbook, and a country white kitchen makeover from lynzy and co
A fun paint chip flag from C.R.A.F.T. and a festive plank tray from the scrap shoppe blog.
Silk painting from liebe design, solor light stands from the navage patch.
A re-made hutch from butterflies and baubles, and hand embroidered bookmarks from busy being Jennifer.
Fourth of July porch decor from worthing court, and a DIY smores kit from our peaceful planet.
A car toy bag from upcycled fabric from upcyclelina, and chores bingo from fluster buster.
Currant muffins (from their own currant tree) courtesy of from kayla, and apricot bars from Winnie.
That is it for the features, what have you been up to?

Hi Sara — Thanks for the comment over on my blog. Yes, I haven’t posted in Craft Schooling Sunday for a while… It was my older son’s bar mitzvah on June 19, and planning for 70+ guests/family members from out of town kept me very busy!
Nice to be back and hear from you 🙂

Mazel Tov! May you have lots of nachas from him! I am also making a bar mitzvah, my son was born 2 days before Rosh HaShana, so the festivities are actually before, during and after the holiday! all the best!
