Elephants are a big favorite for a lot of crafters. They can be realistic or ultra stylized and they can be incorporated into virtually any craft. A purse in the shape of an elephant, a quilt with elephant fabric, even a cute little elephant charm on a bracelet, the possibilities are endless and a quick look at all the elephant crafts proves it!

Don’t leave your fibers behind! francorios made this great little loom using an old clipboard. It’s small and lightweight, which makes it so easy to take everywhere you go. Never leave home without a project!

Hi everyone! This week I wanted to take a second look at movies in stitch – a sequel, if you will. Let’s get this thing rolling!
Penny Nickels made these pillows featuring Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog. She pointed me in the direction of this clip from the movie My Best Fiend, Herzog’s documentary about their relationship. Now, even though Kinski is no longer with us, they can be together forever in pillow form!

With just a few pieces of paper, scissors and tape, you can create striking and beautiful decor for your home. MsJeshka shared with us her living room adorned with Valentine’s Day Wall Art. I’d love to try this with huge polka dots in vibrant scrapbook paper designs.
