Go Ahead, Click
Over in my sidebar you'll find Duni. She's a fellow etsy shop owner and fellow blogger.
Her blog, Duni's Studio is always full of lovely pictures, great craft projects and more.
This week Duni featured Mollie Makes Magazine, and wanted her followers to know that they also had a website where there were lots of tutorials and crafting how-to's.
I took the bait and she was right. They even featured one of Duni's tutorials for a flower headband. Cute!
Then I found this paper flower post.
The tutorial led me here Crafted By Lindy, another blog by yet another fellow etsy shop owner. Talk about going in circles! Oh yeah........circles.........check out this garland Lindy made.
Have you guessed what's it made out of? Yup. Cupcake liners. Fantastic idea-- what a cute way to dress up a party!
Don't you love the way that happens? That you go to one site, and it leads you to another? So cool.
Here's another one. Melinda is a follower of the Muse, and another etsy shop owner (who knew there were that many of us) who always post the sweetest comments (thanks Melinda!).
Well, I stopped by her blog inspiration-earth the other day after reading one of her comments here. I found this awesome tutorial Melinda did on natural wood stains.
Guess what Melinda used to get that wonderful aged look? Go ahead, guess. I'm not spilling the beans, you'll have find out for yourself right here. But don't you LOVE it? It looks like weathered barn wood. The tutorial is so simple, you'll be amazed.
While you're there, check out what she made with the wood blocks.........

How cute is that?
So many interesting, fun, crafty, artistic places to discover, so little time.
Enjoy your Wednesday. Mine is busy, busy and filled with design, ad planning, meetings and more. Hopefully I'll get a chance at the end of the day to take walk over in the field with Gar and the dog.
I know what you mean! I could "hop" around blog land all day long and never it never gets old! That's the fun of it I think:) Plus, since I don't have cable anymore and thus no HGTV:( blog hopping is my only decorating fix.
ReplyDeletethere is a serious amount of awesome tutorials to find. it's like getting lost i a bookstore! no cable? how are you doing without it? i keep chanting i'd like to cancel, the price kills me. but i think we'd be lost without our sports!!!
DeleteOh my goodness, Pam! What a wonderful surprise after a hectic work day!
