Handmade is better.

I love, love, love all things handmade.
Duh.

So for this Tutorial Thursday... make something.


Great apron for the new sewer.



Simple, cute, no sewing required.



Yummy paper + mod podge = happiness.


Make your fridge happy with these magnets.

Got a tutorial you love?
Send it my way.  I would love to try it out.

Hey Julie,

Just found some awesome tutorials recently on this girl Angie's blog.

Here is the link to one of her tutorials for a fabric covered diaper wipes case. So fun and easy. I would modify it slightly by putting French gimp around the edges instead of ribbon, but it is all personal preference.

Have fun!
