Nice Things

It's time for nice things!

1. I'm in love with this crocheted hanger tutorial from Dottie Angel. Of course, Nate's the one with wooden hangers (I have the thin velvet ones to save closet space), so I hope he's looking forward to hanging his shirts on pretty crochet!


2. We don't have cherry blossoms here, but this paper version from Book Hour Crafts would be a pretty substitute.

3. Feeling Stitchy has a great tutorial up for a roll up organizer - just pick the pattern that suits what you need to organize.


4. Ever wanted a font of your own handwriting? Natalie shares instructions on craft. There's a small fee, but how cool!


5. Sewing notions as art? Love it!


6. Finally, this post pretty much made my week.


Have a great Friday!

I really enjoy reading your blog. I particularly like your craftiness and refashioning.
I have recently started my own blog "surprisingly intercultural".
If you are interested in intercultural issues I'd love you to have a look at it:

My wife did it the other way around. She learned to write in cezanne for our wedding stationary. It looked awesome!

AJ said...

Awesome! My mom's been asking me to crochet some hangars for her (my aunt used to do it). Now I'll know how! ;)
