So I plan on making a couple sun jars for Christmas presents but I am at a loss at where to find glass frosting spray... Thankyou for your help in advance.
And if you're wondering what the heck a sun jar is:

Picture Tree

So, I've made a tree out of wire(stainless steel) and used contact paper to sandwich little tiny pictures that I printed off of my computer. This is for my flute teacher...the pics are of people in my studio!
I used a sharpie to color the back on some of the glass pebbles, and then hot glued a bunch to the terracotta. It came out really charming. These pics don't do it justice, but you get the idea. REALLY easy to make.

Mattress foam?

[dottedcircles.livejournal.com]

My friends and I are converting a school bus in to an RV. I am in charge of all the upholstery and I'm looking for the cheapest, and most comfortable way to make 6 mattress. I don't have exact dimensions yet but I'm thinking they will be around 28' wide and 75' long.

I've looked online and found this site among others for foam. It's the most cost effective so far, but I would love to find something cheaper.
$300 is more than I want to pay!  Do you think it would be even more expensive to go to a craft store?

I will be layering the foam with some thick batting, and I was thinking about making a feather top for each from feather comforters I can get cheap at the Goodwill bins.

I hope to make removable/washable covers too. I'm looking for a material that will keep the foam and feathers from being able to absorb body stuff. What else can I use besides vinyl? I've seen some in stores that have a thin layer of soft material backed with something waterproof. I could try and make something like that.

Baby gifts

Two women at work were pregnant over the summer (they've both had their babies) and, in addition to crocheting baby blankets for them, I made iron-ons for onesies. I bought the transfer paper at JoAnn's or Michael's and printed out designs on them.

and i've just created a whole new page about the 'tweedles' which are "imperfect" creatures here on earth to help us learn to accept our own imperfections! ;)


i don't think i'm allowed to link to the story of the tweedles as there is sales info there too, but if you're interested let me know. :)
