I don’t know where I heard about them, but I recently read something about Permapaque opaque markers that sparked my interest.

Coffee-Stained Paper {Craft Challenge, Day 135}
I have a confession to make: I almost never finish a cup of coffee. I drink some at breakfast, usually make a to-go cup to take when I take the girl to school, drink a little in the car, sometimes have a little while I’m doing chores or other morning things, but then I have […]

Crocheted Storage Basket {Iron Craft Challenge}
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make something that could be used for storage.

In the pictures it’s holding fruit but in reality it […]
