Nothing is better for a burp rag than a cloth diaper, but nobody wants to cart around something that looks like a cloth diaper. This tutorial is easy enough for beginning sewers, but is so adorable you’ll wear it on…
Resin Earrings
I’m really pleased with how these earrings turned out. I used to make a version of them a few years ago with clear embossing powder, but I found that even more time consuming and messy than working with the resin.…
