Computer Monitor Corner Decoration
By katrine2706
I was inspired by the making of cute corner bookmarks and I would love to try them, but it's been a long time that I have kept my book collections and haven't read them since. Suddenly I decided to make one as a decoration for my desktop monitor, just to add a nice view to this boring workplace.

The kids saw a puffer fish in a book we read then they blurted out they both wanted a puffer fish. They have really been into fishes lately. I compromised and we were able to make a puffer fish in terms of a craft.

The school year is about to end and I have started my seasonal business again. My business strategy is simple. To make it appealing, know your market. I have started this at my kid's school with candy garlands since kids love to have candies around their neck during graduations and enjoy the goodies afterwards. Now, I'm getting more customized orders.

Today I hung out styles 1-3 of my handmade feeders. I think you will find them easy. One is safer for the kids as there are no sharp or hot things needed.

My husband recently turned 40 years old and I wanted to make him a present that captured some memories from his childhood. I saw some ideas for making a lamp out of cassette tapes and thought it was the perfect gift for him!

Instead of throwing away a lovely crystal vase that I chipped on the top edge, I turned it upside down placing it onto a marble base of an old lamp. Then I glued a mint green beehive telephone insulator (that use to be on top of a telephone pole years ago) to the top.

This is a cute edible craft for all ages using Peeps bunnies and Twinkies. You can decorate your cars however you like, I went with a bit of a classic race car look. To make this 100% edible, replace the toothpicks with thin pretzel rods.

Painted Containers for Easter Egg Hunts
By attosa
When I was a kid, I never enjoyed Easter egg hunts because there was always that one kid who would happen to find most of the eggs, leaving the rest of us with just a few. It never felt good. Now, with a little effort, Easter egg hunts can be fun and fair.

When I caught the dog carrying off my daughter's retainer, I knew it needed a home! I drew a face on a tiny picnic basket, positioning the mouth in an eyecatching way.

I am having a hard time coming up with a name for my business. I want something fun and catchy that will set me out from similar businesses.Speed Fluctuates on Singer 6268 Sewing MachineMy Singer 6268 works great aside from the speed of sewing fluctuating. I am using my darning foot to do free motion quilting and I will press down to start sewing and sometimes it will be fast, or slow, or completely stop without changing the actual speed. I have tried cleaning out the air hose, but to no avail.Can't Stitch Fonts on Singer Embroidery MachineI have the Singer embroidery machine.
