Handmade Detroit

Ok, ok. Here are some crafts for the Fourth. They’re courtesy of Martha Stewart. Something tells me the hip cats don’t make too many tube dresses out of old flags… Check out the Martha link for a TON of ideas. Thanks, Martha! Something tells me she values freedom… ::snicker::

Baking? I thought this blog was about crafting?!”
Fear not, faithful readers. This week’s Project Crawl is just a little different in honor of our nation’s birth. And because it’s darn tasty and the birthday cake I’ve had for the past 10 years. Boys and gals, I present… FLAG CAKE!

That’s right! Look […]

Almost Girl is a great roundup of all things nifty, if you ask me. I found her blog after looking for some good Renegade recaps, and her’s was packed with photos, video clips and all-around good information. Here is a more formal review created for a Fashion Wire Daily column. Make sure to give this […]
