Stitch some Birds and Flowers for Spring!!

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I was looking through my craft magazines last night and found some flower and bird cross stitch pictures that I thought I might like to stitch.  Then I decided to check out to see if I could find any on the Internet. I checked out AllCrafts.net and found quite a few links to free cross stitch designs.

Stitch up some of these bright colorful designs to decorate your home this Spring.

Happy Crafting!!

Recycle your Milk Carton and make a Bird Feeder!

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

This week it is cold and has even snowed a bit here in Pangman, Saskatchewan, and I am wondering when Spring is actually going to arrive.

  • milk or juice carton
  • craft knife or scissors
  • wax pencil or crayon
  • ruler or straight edge
  • two small lengths of double-sided tape
  • two bamboo skewers or straight, small diameter twigs to use as perchs
  • bird seed
  • hole punch
  • twine to make a hanger
  • You will find all the instructions to make this Bird Feeder here.
