This week’s iron Craft challenge theme was “Rainy Days,” and for some reason most of the time I was thinking about what to do, all I wanted to do was make an umbrella out of felt and turn it into a magnet. So I made an umbrella out of felt. And then I couldn’t find […]
My Awesomely Spectacular Craft Fail of the Day
You’d think I’d learn. I’ve been taking part in an every-other-week crafting challenge all year now, and I still end up procrastinating and trying to make the whole thing on the day before (or the day) it’s due. So that means today, on what felt like not enough sleep after a whirlwind knitting weekend (which […]

I told you a couple weeks ago that this year I’m really trying to embrace creative challenges that come my way, and one of the projects I said yes to was Iron Craft. This is a challenge put on by Kat at Just Crafty Enough, which I learned about because she’s a knitter and she […]
