Are you ready to be amazed………yet again? Seriously………when I started this little ole blog almost 4 years ago……..I thought I was pretty crafty. HA! I’m realizing that I could MAYBE pull a B out of Home Economics.
I continue to find blogs that keep me humble……..like WHO makes wood buttons……..who would think to make wood buttons?
Shrimp Salad Circus……..that’s who.Here’s everything you’ll need…….I like her already because she’s obviously safe. Safety Glasses. I once made my son wear his Bob the Builder safety glasses while playing with this crazy hot wheel toy we found at a yard sale….the cars were shooting around everywhere. Just another example where my husband thought I was over the top…..but let’s just say our son has only been injured on my husbands watch. Just sayin……Here’s ONE example of my Safety Momitis, here’s TWO examples. At least I didn’t make him wear a helmet.She shows you a great tutorial along with many others………Can you imagine if you made really big buttons and put red twine in the holes? That would be cute for something….Her tattoo means Live, or to be Alive…….I knew that because I’m so hip………and I looked it up on Wiktionary.
Valentines Day is coming up. This would be a great little present for a sweetheart. A terrarium. Being a product of the 70s, I have loved many a terrarium in my day. If you need more hand holding…….and that’s perfectly OK……she’s got a tutorial. If you want to stick with the “garden” theme……these also make great gifts, even for yourself. Stamped jewelry is all the rage right now….but why not stamp a few other things? Like old Spoons. Use them for plant stakes. Brilliant! She’s showing you another tutorial because she’s another nice blogger that shares. She also shows you a little trick for making the letters darker. She’s so smart.
While digging around her site, I found this cake. Doesn’t take me long to find cake……..even online.
A sushi cake….how original.She also shows you how to make this.
My husband hates coconut, but he could scrape it off right?
Off you go…….another blog for your feed. Which reminds me………have you joined my reader? It’s at the top of my side bar. How about my Facebook Fan page? My Twitter?
Come back tomorrow for Fabulous Friday Giveaway.

I LOVE them. And I would never have thought of that. This is why I need blogs like yours- they make see things in new ways.
Hi! Love your site! Is there a link to the spoon tutorial? I have a bunch of my Mom's old silver spoons and this would make great gifts for the gals in my family. Thanks! (o;
marooter- Yes, the link is her blog. I don't link individual projects. She has a link that says Tutorials at the top of her blog. It's in there. Good luck.
Ahhhh she looks insanely creative! I am absolutely loving the plant markers, what a fantastic idea. What a great find, I'm shocked I've not heard of her before!
