Spring is starting at last. And with spring cames the picnic season!
On that note I found this wonderful dress at Reddish Studio:

A spontaneous picnic dress. Its perfect!!

- Fold a Star - Making origami stars;

- Light bulb Window Vase - Recycle light bulbs and make a nice flower display;

- Rub on Decals - Make your own rub on decals;

- Necklace Tutorial - Revamp your old silver/gold necklace.

Not Martha has a great tutorial to make magnets out of little glass pebbles.
You can buy these pebbles in any decoration shop. It’s usually to use with floating candles or vases of flowers.

I printed a sheet of matte photo paper with the pictures that I wanted, already reduced to the general side of the pebbles. Then I cutted the pictures and glued them to the pebbles with silicon glue. All the imperfections on the back of the glass disappeared.Some I used to make magnets, some to make brooches. I know of someone that made hair clips with it. You can make what ever you want!

I found a great pattern for a lovely kerchief, designed by Janelle Schlossman.
I used a 3,5 (E) crochet hook and green cotton thread.

I think it’s perfect!

The pattern starts in the tip of the kerchief, not in the base. This might be confusing for novices but it’s quite easy to make.

I wanted to replace my old black wrist warmers for a long time. Yesterday I had a little free time and decided to start that project.
I used some cherry red acrylic yarn, which was very cheap, and made these cuties.

I’m really happy about the edging. Makes all the difference.
