I’m trying to get back into the swing of things since school is back in session, and one of the things I used to do regularly that I miss is Iron Craft at Just Crafty Enough. This week’s challenge was to produce something that could be entered at a state fair. While I didn’t actually […]
Crocheted Storage Basket {Iron Craft Challenge}
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make something that could be used for storage. I’ve been crocheting a lot lately, making little bags, and the beginning of a bag looks like a basket, so I decided I wanted to make a crocheted storage basket. In the pictures it’s holding fruit but in reality it […]
Make Bulky Yarn Out of Yarn {Iron Craft Challenge}
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was supposed to be something unexpected. As expected, I had trouble coming up with something. But I’d had this idea that I wanted to make a bulky yarn to use in my classes this summer for demonstration purposes, so I decided to take this opportunity to do it. I don’t […]
Embellish a Tote Bag with Circles

If you’re from Arkansas or know anything about Arkansas or SEC sports, you […]
Sew a Tiny Quilt {Iron Craft Challenge}
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was inspired by the tiny adorableness being produced over at Crabapple Crossings. We were asked to make something in miniature, and because her projects are all about little bunnies I figured I would make a craft for the little bunnies the girl has. (and never plays with. whatever.) This miniature […]
Crochet Edge on a Tea Towel
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make something crafty for the kitchen. Since I already did my upcycled napkin rags (which are my new favorite kitchen cleaning tool, by the way) I decided I would try making something else cuter by putting a crochet edge on a tea towel. You might remember my last […]
