The Farmer's market is Open in our town,

And I wanted a new Shopping bag.

 I wanted it to be cotton and washable....

This bag is so easy to stitch up and a great way
 to use up all those left over cotton yarns.

I decided to retest and update this pattern.

And added a Brand new Video.

 I used Caron Cotton Cakes and I Love how it turned out.

It is adjustable to any length you like.

Tutorial : How I Made Polymer Clay Buttons

I had so many people ask me,

"How do you make your  buttons"?

I thought I should make a tutorial.

I am not an expert, but this is what I did.
See The Video on my Youtube Channel 
at this LINK 

1. Preheat the toaster oven, according to the package directions

of the polymer clay you purchased.

Mine says 275. Then Put a piece of parchment

paper in the sheet pan.

2. Assemble your stuff. I used:

Polymer Clay,  2 inch cookie cutter,

roller and a button hole maker or tooth pick,

another piece of parchment paper to work on.

3. Choose your colors.

I am using about .5 oz. of

brown and beige this time.

4. Knead and roll your colors into 2 long canes.

these are about 12 inches long.

This is the hardest part, but it really works those muscles!

5. Then, cut the cane into 3 pieces.

Take the first one, and twist the cane folding them,

but not letting the colors mix.

6. Roll out the clay to about 1/4 inch thickness

and press your cookie cutter in.

7. Use the button hole maker or a tooth pick

to make the holes.

(I use the left overs to make round buttons)

Bake for 15 minutes

 or according to your Clay's directions.

8. When the buttons are cooled, I wait about 30 minutes.

Spray with Glitter Spray, Then Clear Gloss.

The ones on the left are sprayed with just gloss.

Depending on size of buttons,

you can get 4 to 6 buttons per oz

of Polymer clay.

Square and Round Cotton Wash Cloths

Square and Round Cotton Wash Cloths
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Well, its a rainy Saturday morning,

so I decided to go ahead and

finish writing the wash cloth

crochet patterns.

I put the Small Square and
 the Small Round together.

I love mine.

 I have them in each shower and in my gym bag.

Square Wash Cloth:
We retested and updated the Crochet Pattern with lots of pictures, and added a Brand New Video.

You can make two of these and stitch them 

together with the trim, leaving the bottom open,

 for a pocket for your fingers, 

and it makes a great face cloth as well.
