"I folded a mesh produce bag into a small rectangle and whip-stitched it in place. I set the soap bar on it to dry."

"Wow this afghan does remind me of Fall Foliage! After reading the written pattern and seeing all the pictures this one will be so easy to make. I just need the yarn now, I love a good reason to go yarn shopping. I can't wait to get started making this beautiful crochet afghan. Thank you so much."

"I tell you, the star stitch featured in this neck warmer really kicks it up a notch. This is just the kind of cowl that pleases the masses, therefore it is a nice choice for making a massive amount of crocheted gifts for the holidays. You can do them all in the same color so that everyone gets the same, or you can take the opportunity to experiment with all those colors you've always wanted to try out. It's beautiful -)"

"A very easy to do craft for the whole family to do together. You can crochet the foam wreath covering (or your kid!), kids can pick out the felt shapes they want to add, Dad can hot glue them in place. I'd embellish the heck out of this wreath myself! It needs glitter!"

"SO classical in design. Do you think that I could use my favorite Lion Brand Bonbons yarn for this? To do this classic wreath pin but in a color combo that is more modern like the jewel tones, would be something unique! This pin is great for holding the ends of your holiday scarf together in the wind!"

"I cut up some white bars of soap into chunks and put each bar in the mic on high for 1 minute until a big fluffly cloud. Next I added a few drops of red food coloring and big tablespoon of crushed candy cane & press into pan .5" thick. Fill pan and when cool, cut, wrap in plastic and add a ribbon. Make a candy-can tripod (leave plastic on) with support bars for soap holder."

This would be a great stocking stuffer, especially for the women, but I have a few questions about it. First, I can't quite wrap my head around the idea of something sticky in a bar of soap! Then, wouldn't the crushed candy be rough? Or does it dissolve fast enough when the soap is used?

Such great questions! I looked at Starr's blog to see if others had similar questions, and this is what she said: "I was worried the crushed candy cane would be sticky but not at all it an excellent exfoliate. Thanks for checking it out!" I hope that helps! -Editor of FaveCrafts
