HOW TO - Make a Floor Loom
Simone from Crafty Daisies tips us off to this great guest entry by Bree of Hot Tea Apparel, who shows us how to build a floor loom for weaving. I love the idea of using this to make rugs from recycled, cut-up fabrics, t-shirts, plastic bags, and more.

Dollar Tree recalls 470,000 China-made glue gunsTue Jun 24, 8:55 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dollar Tree Inc recalled about 470,000 Chinese-made hot glue guns because they are a fire hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Tuesday.
Dollar Tree said it was aware of four incidents in which the recalled Crafters Square Hot Melt Mini Glue Guns short-circuited, causing the craft gun to smoke. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled glue guns were sold from December 2007 through March 2008 for about $1 each, the safety agency said in a statement. Customers should stop using the recalled glue guns and return them to the store where purchased for a refund.
