How cute would a row of these be on the edge of a tea towel! 

Pin of the Day 5/3

I came across this great tutorial on making a Glass Tile Pendant that would be a perfect Mother's Day Gift. What Mom, Grandma or Aunt wouldn't love to have a custom created pendant using a tiny photo of their precious loved ones! 

Pin of the Day 4/15

Today's pin is a beautiful crochet basket! I love the ombre effect, the artist used 9 colors to create it.It caught my eye as soon as the page loaded. The colors are fabulous! I'm thinking this would be a great basket to crochet as a gift. Hmmmm, do I need a gift any time soon??? Even if I don't it's a project worth making!

What the heck????

I was about to embark on a new idea to post my favorite Pinterest pin of the day and I came across what I thought was a single pin anomaly. Upon further investigation (by way of a Google search for rock cozies) I found there are quite a few people making crochet covered rocks. Yes, there are people "out there" and I mean that in every way possible, crocheting covers for rocks.

I also found crochet covered rocks on, Etsy

and on Ebay

And a website devoted to the crochet covered rocks as well.






I'm amused and confused by the crochet covered rocks. The artist whose blog I referenced may be on to something though, as I suddenly feel like I may have a use for all those scraps of yarn I have been hanging on to thinking that "someday" I'll find a project for them. Perhaps, finally I have. Of course I won't be leaving MY yarn embellished stones on beaches to be found, I'll most likely be leaving them on the piles of paper that litter my desktop, kind of like a warm and cozy, pre-historic organizing system. :-D

Tomorrow I'll start my Favorite Pin of the Day postings...today, I'll just enjoy this kitschy little discovery.

Garden Apron

As I was working in my garden this morning I realized that I needed a garden apron. Not wanting to go out and spend money on something that I will basically be digging in the dirt in, I hit the internet in search of ideas. What I found was the easiest garden apron EVER!. I "pinned" it on my Awesome Ideas board...because it's is the most awesome idea I've seen all week! I'm off now to raid the back of my closet for a pair of jeans to use!
