I drink a lot of coffee, and my favorite home made variety is the French Roast from Trader Joe’s. After a while, the empty canisters began to build up, but they were so pretty I couldn’t throw them out. Finally, I opted to recycle them and make colorful flour and sugar canisters I could reuse over and read more »]]> http://www.crafthabit.com/2013/04/07/diy-flour-sugar-canisters/feed/ 0 http://www.crafthabit.com/2013/04/07/diy-flour-sugar-canisters/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=diy-flour-sugar-canisters http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/crafthabit/xspV/~3/qbxnW0lRxJQ/ http://www.crafthabit.com/2013/03/06/crafthabit-com-turns-one-five-tips-from-my-year-in-the-craft-blog-trenches/#comments Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:48:39 +0000 Meagan French http://www.crafthabit.com/?p=1534
Every year, change seems to come my way in late February. It’s been four years since I moved to San Francisco, two years since I moved into my lovely Mission apartment, and one year since I got laid off from my corporate job and started this very blog.

Get the Yoga Bag Pattern on Craftsy now → I’m a pretty typical San Franciscan. I love farmers markets, the liberal media, parades celebrating gay people, parades celebrating straight people, expensive coffee, start-ups, gourmet ice cream in 50 degree weather, mindfulness, etc etc etc. There’s one stereotype I haven’t quite bought into until now, and that’s yoga.

One thing I absolutely love about the internet is the plethora of free resources on every subject under the sun, including sewing! The first 25 Free Dress Patterns post was so epically popular that I decided to compile another. Big thanks to Susan Akers for contributing my community Pinterest board and finding some awesome free patterns.

When thinking about the perfect project to post for Valentines Day, I was coming up empty. I could make a pretty card, some heart decorated t-shirts, or better yet, candy. It just felt as if I had seen all these things done a million times before a million times better.

I could have just gone to Paper Source, Target or even Walgreens to pick up some wrapping for my Christmas gifts, but knowing me I just had to get creative and make my own. I headed to Scrap, my favorite reuse center to get the supplies for this project.

As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been a little remiss (aka absolutely terrible) at updating my blog in the last few months. I’ve been working on an exciting new segment of Craft Habit, housewares and pretty things made by me in the style and aesthetic of this very blog. I call my new shop Craft Habit Designs.
