"Love, love, love this afghan! Beginner but definitely going to give it a try."

"This writer is so creative. I think this must be the cutest tote bag I've come across. I wish I had a cricut, I've seen so many cute designs that I would use to make variations of this bag with that I'm willing to buy one. The yarn I what makes this bag pop though. I bet I can use my already made pom poms on this project instead of buying the yarn. So inspiring though."

"Sharpness and ease of doing what I need them for."

"I like the many looks that can be achieved with this shawl. It goes from casual to elegant by the positioning and drape of it. It's an easy pattern that has such a soft look to it. I think it would be cute in fall colors. What color or combination of colors would you use?"

"I think this would make a perfect vacation or beach bag. I can picture it done in two shades of blue. The rope gives it a nautical look to me. You could slide a book into the interior along with suntan lotion, sunglasses and a bottle of water. Two tones of green would make a cute bag to take on a camping trip."

In the Designer's Words: "These faux zinnias are a fun and easy project, and look great in a wood or galvanized container for some country decor. These were made from pine cones that my grand-kids gathered for me. I have seen some projects where the pine cones were dipped into paint, but I decided to use spray paint for this project, and my acrylics for the centers. These are so easy to make and I get lots of compliments on them."

I would never have thought to use pine cones to make zinnias, but they are perfect. I like that you painted them so many colors to make the design fun and playful. What a fun way to come up with a topiary or zinnia bouquet that you can give to friends as a gift or to brighten someone's day.
