Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Last week the party grew just a bit and there were many many more crochet projects, which makes sense since I’ve been on a bit of a crochet adventure myself! There’s something about summer and the beautiful weather just makes crafting seem all the more attractive, which I can’t really…

Here's a fun little picnic centerpiece idea that's just so simple and sweet. Take some recycled tin cans and tie strips of torn sheets or woven rags of any kind. Got it? These would be great little party favors, or centerpieces for any casual outdoor gathering. Plus you could use some on the buffet to…
