Yarn Wrapped Twigs

May 4, 2012 by Julie Leave a Comment

This week was the last week of school. Which means that next week is finals. Which means lots of studying for me. But I did take a break to make a *quick* and easy craft. Yarn wrapped twigs. I had a small ball of some variegated yarn leftover in some pretty blues and greens.

February 13, 2012 by Julie Leave a Comment

  A couple of years ago I saw this cute idea. I showed it to the boys hoping they'd want me to make them for their friends. They said no. They said no the next year also. And again this year. But this year I decided to make them anyway, with some changes. Unfortunately crafting at night leads to bad pictures. Sorry!  My husband did a project about a year ago that required him to cut … [Read more...]
