this is going to sound very odd.

my great grandmother died in 1994, and we, through an odd set of circumstances, ended up with two headstones. we have no idea what to do with the extra one. it's just been floating around from attic to attic since then, and now it's sitting in my mother's living room in front of the fireplace.

it's heavy metal, in the classical rather than rock sense, and about three feet by two feet.

my mother has been thinking about making it the center of some sort of rock garden, but it just doesn't click with me. i was thinking more of a coffee table.

any craft ideas?

This school will trade die cuts for box tops with minimal charges for the die cuts and the shipping.
Looks like a pretty good deal for everyone involved

getting smoke out of fabrics

I remember someone had asked about how to get smoke out of yarns, and I'd tried to look up a site to talk about it, and finally found one.

Hope that helps!

indeed. i even WORK at a craft store.


first, i want to ask a question.

has anyone made good candles in glass containers? i found the cutest little glass voitve holders, and i decided id just go ahead and make candles IN them. so i got them poured, and i knew that the centers were going to... cave in. but what does one do after that?


and now the time to make you jealous. i bought the CUTEST bead today. its a set (2) of cherries with stems and leaves. its glass. its about... 1/2 or 3/4 an inch long. its soo detailed. (its glass, btw) its so awesome. im in love with it. i made a necklace out of it (with some small red seed beads) before i had to go to work.
