You have to check this out ... Bow Making

A group I belong to posted a site today about making bows from magazine pages. I just think this is terrific and had to share. The bows are beautiful!!! You can find the instructions by

Jessica Jones at her blog How about orange ...

Just think, you'll never have to worry about running out to get a bow, just grab an old magazine, paper, etc. and your set to go! And, besides being beautiful they are more then priced right!

Thanks to Jessica for sharing this.

Great blogs to visit ...

... The DIY Show Off

... Whimsy by Victoria

I was checking out The DIY Show Off ( The DIY Show Off )blog this morning and she had featured the site Whimsy by Victoria, what a wonderful young woman and family ... I've already spent some time browsing her blog and need a lot more. There are just so many things to see, and what beautiful ideas, from her and from those she has shown on her site. Whimsy by Victoria

The DIY Show Off is incredible! Once you visit you can't resist going back and back to see her, her ideas and what is being showcased next! Just browsing this site you'll get all fired up to decorate and redecorate.

Sharing an inspiration

I am just amazed at all the wonderful blogs that I keep finding with the most creative, giving, authors! There are so many wonderful projects, ideas, re-dos, and recipes with such generosity in sharing that which they do and create. Crochet (has to be the first mentioned you know), knitting, painting, sewing, quilting, woodworking, cooking ... the list goes on, no? You know what I mean. I have always loved to make things and these have inspired me to start to make my own designs (of which are only a few), but more in time (I hope!).

I'm thinking of every now and then featuring a blog here ... would appreciate any thoughts on this or letting me know about a blog; yours or another's.
