Bright ideas, fabulous products, clever tips & quick reads


BITS & PIECES
Queen of remnants Amanda Jean Nyberg has crowned her
scrappy reputation with a book called No Scrap Left Behind
(C&T Publishing), in which she features all
sorts of clever ideas for using
off cuts – right down
to the tiniest piece.
To wit: these
fabric-decorated
cards. Just one
of her cute
and practical
inclusions.

INCOGNITO CROCHET
Life too tame? Need to go a little James Bond? Ana Rosa’s
crocheted Disguise Masks might be the ticket. Woolly eyebrows,
specs, new nose and moustache will assist in your covert operations.
Or at the very least they’ll give you a giggle. You can find the patterns
at BuddyRumi, http://www.buddyrumi.com/free-goodies.

No use crying over spilt milk, but ... There is
good reason to sigh over spilt crochet. And that’s because it’s such a fun
idea. But if you think they are purely bits of quirky fun, you’re selling these
short – they’re actually coasters, made in washable acrylic yarn by Carly
Dellger. They come as a standard set of four or you can custom order.
