CRAFT Tweet: What Are You Making This Weekend?
It's a rainy Saturday here in San Francisco and I'm finishing up my embroidered baby bib from Jenny Hart's Sublime Stitching Baby Bib Embroidery Kit. I decided to tweet and find out what other crafters are up to making today.
@ArtWhims I am busy designing new magnets! How fun is that?!
@beautifulpirate im working on some clay pendants and charms
@Murple I'm working on a crochet blanket that will hopefully be a wedding present next week.

@AnitraCameron I'm painting the faces on some of my Tea Kettle Characters. Here are 2 that are already done.

@jesterfunnyboox I'm playing with my new spinning wheel!
Follow CRAFT on Twitter and send us a link to what you are working on this weekend.

Roundup: Mother's Day Projects

Mother's Day is coming up on Sunday, May 10th so we though it would be fun to round up some of our past CRAFT projects and recipes for you to make for dear Mom.

Sew up a bunch of these quilted potholders. Tie them up indivdually with ribbon and place them all in a woven basket to give to mom.

Write Mom a lovely note in a handmade fabric-embellished card.

Say "I Love You Mom" with breakfast in bed with this recipe for basic crepes.

Make this recipe for simple vanilla syrup and place it in a glass bottle. Then add a bag of mom's favorite coffee beans and package them together.
