Huh. Nifty. Cheap plastic beads, thin layer in pan. 400 degrees for about 20 min. When cool just invert, fall right out. Worth a try I guess

DIY Super Easy Beach Blanket! The built in corners not only store your belongings but also weigh the blanket down! I'd add ties to the ends so it can roll up for easy transport.

1 tbsp cornstarch, 4-6 pumps baby shampoo, 2-3 drops food coloring, 1-2 tsp water = voila! bathtub paint. THIS IS AWESOME.

Oh, man. Super cool! Print directly on to freezer paper - iron on to fabric.

Lily Wow, that would make a great gift ... Hint hint.

which needles to use with which threads for embroidery

This is brilliant! Using weights instead of pins to anchor a pattern: The weights are simply metal washers wrapped with fabric. It can be rather difficult, however, to find the large 4.5" washers that I use. You can use plain washers, but the fabric keeps them from clinking and from sliding around. If you have ever used weights to hold down your patterns, you probably realize how much easier and faster it is than using pins. The only time I use pins is at details like pleats and darts.

I adore this apron. ♥ @kamala .., what say you? Full coverage enough?

Holy crap I want to do this. Cool the kids off with a homemade sprinkler. Take a 2 liter soda bottle, poke holes in it. Attach to a garden hose via a male to male adapter that cost less than $5 at Lowes. Toss over a tree branch and let hang.

Kamala .. Love it. The long one.

Ashley Hart Definitely. Long. With a hood. And pockets, I think, because I just can't stand clothes without pockets. You wanted a lightweight cotton or linen fabric, right?

Kamala .. Sounds about perfect.

For J and K.

superbuzzy.com - there is some goooood-looking fabric here.

Also must remember this site - met the owner/dyer at Lambtown, and she's wonderful. I'm LOVING working with this yarn.

This site has the most beautiful yarn - word is, it's soft, too. Must remember next time I need a stash infusion!
