Searching for an out-of-print pattern? Good news -the Leisure Arts Patterns Library is now online.  Each pattern costs a few dollars and can be downloaded instantly. The selection is huge for all types of crafts – Crochet, Knitting, Needlework, Sewing, Plastic Canvas and more. The patterns are pdf files and sized to print on letter-size paper.  I know many people will love their plasic canvas dollhouse furniture. It’s adorable. The baby crochet sets are also very nice. This is a great resource for crafters, so happy browsing!

Just in time for Fall decorating, try your hand at faux stained glass painting with this lovely Leaves On a Glass Ball Ornament. The leaves are painted on a flat surface before applying them to the ball. Nifty, huh? You can make several leaves and just use the best ones for your project and you can apply the leaves to other surfaces like windows and mirrors. Added to Painting and Fall Crafts

I love this idea! I can think of so many fun ways to use Homemade Scratch-Off Lottery Tickets! In this tutorial, ArtMind uses them as a promotion for her crafts business. Party favors, gifts for services, or even, prank lottery tickets would be great. I’m sure you’ll want to bookmark this project. Besides, this is just fun and I like to know how to make cool things.

If the weather is starting to get crummy, here’s a cute kids craft for indoors fun. The Paper Plate Goldfish is made from common household and craft items. This version is painted, which is fun but messy. Instead, you could glue tissue paper on to make nice texture and scales. Even better, use up old party plates and create all kinds of imaginative fish! Added to Kids Crafts

Let me see if I can explain this one — You know how babies grow up so fast? Well, these are stickers for your baby’s onesie that help you document the months. The Picture Stickers are colored transparent so they look like part of the shirt and you get a set of 12 to document that adorable first year. It’s such a cute idea for scrapbookers! This Etsy store also has calendar month  and pregnancy style Picture Stickers. Just click to see what I mean…
