a quilty christmas in july project

With today being the first day of July, I am reminded of the Christmas in July sales of my youth. I stumbled across this nifty free tutorial from JCasa ~ http://jchandmade.typepad.com/photos/patchwork_wreath_tutorial/wreathtute9.html

Looks like a relatively quick and easy project. Perfect way to clear out fabric scraps. :) Just might show up in the shop before too long...

good craziness of the crafty kind

While surfing wedding diy websites (specifically http://diy.weddingbee.com), I stumbled upon a very crafty blog. http://www.dellastella.blogspot.com/

Needless to say, it has been bookmarked, favorited, and of course linked here - so that I might find it again.  And after scrolling through her site, I found the thing that drew me in for a closer look - her wedding programs - http://dellastella.blogspot.com/2009/09/long-overdue-total-crafty-wedding-recap.html
