daily-ish photo: bacon maple bar from Frost

We found ourselves out near Frost Donuts [1] (a short drive away from Seattle) so we stopped in. I'd read a lot about it but I wasn't prepared for how amazing the donuts look [2] (take a peek at that Aztec Chocolate, go on), how adorably designed the shop was, and how really, really good the donuts were. I didn't mean to eat this whole one but I did. We are definitely going to find a reason to swing by again soon.

thing I like: Slice packaging cutter

[1]

This is a Slice [2] ceramic safety cutter meant for opening clamshell packaging. I manage to get papercuts from anything sharp and flat so last Christmas I grabbed one of these in the hopes of avoiding the frustration and the blood and the pain. Opening gifts should not be associated with pain. This has an incredibly tiny ceramic blade in the tip that is just big enough to cut through sturdy plastic packaging but too small to cut skin.

I was really delighted when I found there is a small magnet inside so you can keep this on a fridge or a magnet board, so handy. It's photographed above hanging out with the spring clips and fortune cookie fortunes that I keep handy over my kitchen counter. We've even started using our little cutter to slice through tape to open boxes. It's turned out to be my favorite gadget. Slice makes a range of ceramic products for the office and kitchen and I have my eye on the Precision Cutter [3] as well. Both the Safety Cutter [4] and Precision Cutter [5] are also available at Amazon.

Funny thing? The Safety Cutter comes in the very packaging it's designed to open more easily:

Cat Fur Jewelry

We recently brought home our first cat, and while we've loved loving on her, the fur everywhere is getting a bit tiresome. Inspired by this jewelry from Flora Davis, who creates jewlery pieces from her own cat's fur, I think I'll start looking at the piles behind the couch as craft supplies instead of something else to clean.

Papier-Mache Easter Eggs

For Easter I made papier-mache polka dotted eggs.

[2]

I made small pinatas using water balloons and tissue paper.

[3]

I filled them with candy, then sealed them shut.

[4]

You can also put toys or notes inside.

[5]

They have to be ripped to open them, which is way fun.

Vote on Fabrics Designed by Kids!

Here's a delightful way to start your Sunday morning: pop over to Spoonflower and vote in their current fabric design contest. All the fabrics were created by kids aged 12 and under. I was grinning from ear to ear as I paged through the entries - what a talented bunch of kiddos!

You can vote for as many designs as you like, and the top ten will get a $20.00 Spoonflower credit. The winner receives a Wacom digital tablet (with which to start his or her future design empire).

Bakesale for Japan tomorrow

[1]

It's 11 p.m. and I'm just finishing my baked goods for the Bakesale for Japan tomorrow. I'm fond of what I made and might have to buy one for myself since I didn't have any left over. I made Jars of Stars, lots of little star shaped cookies. (Pictures later.) It took a bit longer than I anticipated, but I think it was worth it. Here in Seattle it will be at the Cakespy shop (more details [2]). See the Bakesale for Japan [3] page to find if there is one being held near you.

I've got a few days worth of photos to put up but I'm tired and need to pack for a few days of travel, so I'll be back on Monday and catch up then. Hope your weekend is wonderful.

Today was way better than yesterday, or so I thought. At lunch I dropped off the last document needed for our tax people to do our taxes, I got all the stuff needed to make dinner, I gathered and bagged the recycling for collection tomorrow, I got everything ready to take photographs of the Easter project I have in mind for this year, I did dishes, I washed and chopped kale, I cleaned out the fridge, I cleared the dining room table of miscellaneous mail and I was feeling triumphant and smart (I was listening to The Tobolowsky Files [1], it makes me feel smart) and nearly I felt like I actually had my stuff together until Scott [2] got home and discovered that all of my keys were still in the lock of the door. Just hanging there, forgotten. In my rush to turn off the alarm when I came home I failed to actually remove my keys from the lock. Way to go, me.

Anyhow, the photograph above is a sneak peek at what I'm doing for Easter. Sort of.

How-To: Steampunk Balancing Robot from Recycled Materials

By Scott Bedford

Amaze your kids by transforming two old toilet rolls and a few other recycled bits and bobs into a cool steampunk-inspired robot. Amaze them even further by balancing your robot on the edge of a ruler, table, shelf, or even your finger. And then triple amaze them by rotating the arms and revealing the steel heart in the body of the robot.

This is a fun summer project that's also an excellent way for your kids to improve their understanding of gravity and mechanics. It's also a very flexible project - while I gave�my robot all the bells and whistles (literally, there's a whistle on its head), you can easily customize your robot to suit the materials you have available.

Mother Boards as Art Canvases

When Joe Dragt's office earmarked some 30 computers to be sent to recycling, he decided to step in and dismantle them himself. He scavenged the mother boards to use as canvases for his paintings.

Seeing the stack of old computers, the idea just struck me...the motherboards can make for a really neat canvas. The complexity and patterns of all the circuits could make for stunning backgrounds. I asked if I could take one computer home for a trial run, and it just blossomed from there.

May Birthday Giveaway: lollipop collection from This Charming Candy

What?s going on here? My site started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you.

Today I have sweet stuff to give away. This Charming Candy [1] is awesomely offering any one of their lollipop collections [2] to the lucky winner. The company is made up of two lovely ladies, Susan and Kate, and the lollipops are all made by hand here in Seattle. The flavors are carefully tested by panels of tasters (I had the luck to be one once) so only the best surface. And the lollipops are beautiful! After seeing them all lined up at the CakeSpy Shop I nearly wanted to buy a bunch to decorate my dining room table. You can choose between any of their collections [3]: Fruit Basket (their newest), Spice Rack, Celebration Time, Adventurer's Pack and Breakfast Tray. I must try that Salted Caramel flavor, oh, and the Tangerine-Clove too. I see sugar in my immediate future.

You want some candy? Of course you do! To win please leave a comment with this entry and if you'd like something to chat about (I love reading all the comments) answer this question: What was your favorite candy when you were a kid? I liked spice drops at Christmastime. There I said it, I was a weird child! Your turn, you've got until Wednesday, June 1st at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [4] applies. Good luck! Closed, thanks for entering!

Yarn Bombers Dress Up Vancouver for Mini Maker Faire

Vancouver BC's first Mini Maker Faire is this weekend, and to help build excitement for the event, a group of local knitters and crocheters joined forces to do a bit of yarn bombing on June 11th, which is also International Yarn Bombing Day. Using their fiber skills and teamwork, these 15 crafty activists beautified the city's Dunsmuir bike lanes with an installation of brightly colored knitting.

I talked with mastermind Emily Smith about how the project came together and what Vancouver thought about it.

How-To: Steampunk Balancing Robot from Recycled Materials

By Scott Bedford

Amaze your kids by transforming two old toilet rolls and a few other recycled bits and bobs into a cool steampunk-inspired robot. Amaze them even further by balancing your robot on the edge of a ruler, table, shelf, or even your finger. And then triple amaze them by rotating the arms and revealing the steel heart in the body of the robot.

This is a fun summer project that's also an excellent way for your kids to improve their understanding of gravity and mechanics. It's also a very flexible project - while I gave�my robot all the bells and whistles (literally, there's a whistle on its head), you can easily customize your robot to suit the materials you have available.

How-To: Hexagon Pillow

I've been addicted to English paper piecing with tiny hexagons lately, so I was happy to find this simpler piecing project at the Lark Crafts blog. Guest blogger Cynthia Shaffer uses nice, big hexies, which show off pretty fabric prints well. What a great way to dress up a plain sofa cushion!

How-To: Turn a Dress Into a Tie-Back Top

 

Kristin at Craft Leftovers took a rather ho-hum shift dress and revamped it into this flattering top with just a few cuts and seams.

...Which really makes me want to hit the thrift stores this weekend and hunt up some refashion opportunities!

How-To: CD Case Fimo Labyrinth

This Fimo labyrinth using a CD case from Teri of Giddy Giddy for Bloesem Kids is a brilliant example of reuse. She shares a few versions of maze styles, and I imagine kids would have fun coming up with their own as well. [via Austin Creative Reuse]

CRAFT Pattern: That Girl! Tank

By Nikol Lohr

With an empire waist, relaxed styling and seed-stitch details to match the summer jacket of the same name, this quick-knitting linen/cotton blend tank is an excellent warm-weather project. Wide straps for bra coverage, extra increases, and short row shaping for bigger bustlines make it as fitting a tank for busty women as it is for their willowy counterparts.

This tank is worked in the round from the top down. Each section is bound off and immediately picked up to add structure and to better offset the seed-stitch details. You can easily shorten the hip-length top to conserve yarn or continue in pattern as long as you like for an A-line sundress. Aside from one side of each strap, it's completely seamless.

Nautical Lamp Revamp & Beachy Bathroom Decor

Summer in the city is upon us, making me covet days at the beach like it's my job to do so. I love creating little escapes in my urban apartment and my bathroom is where I pretend I am sitting on a beach, grabbing a respite from the city heat. In today's video, I take an old lamp and give it a nautical revamp! Check out the complete photo tutorial (and PDF) at Make: Projects.

Subscribe to the CRAFT Podcast in iTunes, download the m4v video directly, or watch it on YouTube. Music by i am jen.

Check out all the episodes of Home Decor with Meg Allan Cole.

In addition to giving an old lamp a fresh, new look, I added a few other seaside elements to the space to really create an atmosphere.

My favorites are this sea urchin, my reupholstered chair, and this belt I made using a Double Carrick Bend knot.

Which of these three projects would you like to see how to do? Let me know in a comment below!

Public Swings Art Project

Jeff Waldman is raising money to hang swings in public spaces.

What started last year as a conversation about the simplistic pleasures of swings has launched into a multi-city experiment in unexpected joy and cerebral happiness. Via contact info we left on the wooden seats we've received notes from those that used them, talking about the surprising smiles that were left on their faces. They wrote how their days were made better and how the emotions that emerged from stumbling across and using a random swing permeated their afternoon and infected those they came into contact with. The joy felt and the urge to spread it was contagious.

It seems like maybe they could make a few tire swings while they're at it.
