Craft: Miniature Colored Pencils

I had planned on posting a recipe today but it just didn't work out. Don't you hate when that happens? You put all this time into a post only to find out it's a total fail, so sad. Anyways, in need of a replacement post I thought back to older crafts. That made me remember these miniature colored pencils I used to make. You can't actually color with them but they make great little embellishments for craft projects such as cards. They're also the perfect size for Barbies. Super easy directions below.

Color with markers.
Easy, right?

Vintage Crafts: Cross-Stitch Bingo

After my last post on vintage craft magazines, I did a little research on copyright. As I suspected, I can't share the patterns from the magazines. However, I've decided to share some of the pictures periodically for inspiration.

The cross-stitch bingo project above would be easy to recreate even without the directions. What I liked about this project is it reminded me of something I would see in a Japanese Craft book. And check out that little mushroom, very "zakka life"!
