"One of my sons made me a lamp just like this one many years ago at summer camp. It is a simple project that gets a lot of use. I still have it. It is my favorite lamp. It gives the room a nice cozy feel that you dont get from modern lamps."

"I have got to try some of these! Maybe a lot of these. I have a stash of canning jars from back when I used to can a lot. Since I don't do that any more, these are perfect for Christmas gifts as well as decorating the house at Christmas. Oh - my favorite Christmas craft material is yarn."

"I have some tiny liners that I don't even remember getting, much less what they were intended for. This is a great way to use them, because I also have some tiny fake flowers stashed away. They would make pretty package toppers, as she used them for or they could be used in a wreath, among other things. Very pretty."

"Simple enough and they would be pretty displayed anywhere, but why buy angels? It would be easy to cut them from cardstock or pasteboard, then decorate them in various ways. Crafts like this make me look forward to decorating for Christmas, but I can't spend a lot of money on it, so I am always looking for cheaper ways to do it!"

"This is a great way to make a utilitarian item very pretty! My hubby I have just stopped using paper napkins, not because we are being green, but to save green-money that is! We found ourselves buying paper napkins quite often. Not wanting to pay for them anymore, we broke out our cloth napkins to use instead. I love vintage things, so I have been collecting them for years. Time to put them to use on an everyday basis, instead of only for our fancy dinners! This craft looks like it would be fun, very easy to adapt in color and style and would bring a very nice look for your table. Embroidery is a great way to personalize your linens too. You could even embroider a monogram on your napkins. How fun! Would you consider this for a craft project?"

Cuddly Crochet Koala Baby Shower Gift Idea

"Make this crochet lovey pattern for your favorite little marsupial. The koala works up quickly using only one skein and some scrap yarn, which makes it a perfect baby shower gift idea. Instructions include a bow that can be used as a bowtie or a ear bow, making this crochet toy totally gender neutral. Add this cuddly koala to a new baby's gift basket or just keep a couple on hand to give to friends' new little ones. This lovey pattern is quick and affordable enough to make a great charity gift too!"

This is a cute little lovey that is quick to work up. It is just the right size for a little one to play with. I personally would not add the fur type yarn to the ears if making this for a baby. Babies put everything in their mouths, and some of these yarns shed.
