A DIY Teacup Pin Cushion Is Adorable And Truly Useful!
When a neighbor's child showed up at my door just before Passover with all of the things they didn't want, but thought I might, this little tea cup was tucked in there, and I immediately thought, ah yes, pin cushion or candle? And now you know the answer: tea cup pincushion! It really is just as cute as can be, and useful to boot! You can glue the cup to the plate, or better yet, don', as the plate becomes a useful catchall when you are in the middle of a sewing project. Want to make one? It is really so very simple, love that!

DIY Paper Plant: Flowering Bromeliad
A DIY paper plant can be the perfect solution if you need an inexpensive and festive party centerpiece (especially if you need a bunch) and best of all they can be made in any size that works for you. Not all the paper plants that i've seen in blogland have been quick to make, so I've come up with one that truly is…..ta da, introducing the paper flowering bromeliad. And I have to say, I haven't seen any flowering paper plants, with the exception of a cactus, so I'm happy to present you with an idea that is quick, budget friendly and can be made to suit your color scheme!…

Plastic Canvas Nesting Heart Baskets
In my book one can never have too many little baskets to decorate a table or sideboard, or to leave on a dresser top for safekeeping of jewelry and small items. These heart shaped plastic canvas baskets are also nesting baskets, so they're easy to store and fun to use when the moment strikes! One could even make them to hold treats for a special occasion, and then use them afterwards just for fun. You can choose to leave the plastic canvas blank, as I have, or spend some time embroidering the baskets as you see fit. It really is all a matter of how you choose to spend your…

Plastic Canvas Envelope Memo Holder
If you are looking for a sweet little plastic canvas project, i will modestly suggest that my plastic canvas envelope memo holder surely fits the bill. In fact, because this project requires very little embroidery but rather relies on the plastic canvas as is, you could surely make quite a few of these as little gifts, and of course my addition of the heart is a sweet touch but for a more masculine version one could certainly replace the heart with an initial.

Hanukkah Craft: Eight Nights Of Surprises Wall Hanging
Here is a nice Hanukkah craft idea that you can make according to my DIY Hanukkah post on Houzz.com, or use as inspiration to make your own version. Just about any combination of colors and materials could work, as the fun part of this wall hanging is of course opening one little gift each nigth of hanukkah. You may be thinking that this doesn't really look like most of the other projects you've seen me create, and yes, you are right! I went out on a limb with this one (ha ha) and created something nature inspired and neutral as opposed to the bright colors I generally favor. The wrapping…
