Google Chrome bento
Wow! Anna the Red was asked to make a Google Chrome icon bento, and to videotape the process. I knew she was really creative and had mad bento skilz, but after watching the work that goes into making one bento, I think she’s a little nuts(in a good way).
Caterpillar watch 2009!
Yesterday the caterpillar left the stick and went under the leaves. By evening, it had started making a cocoon - I could never catch it in the act, when I disturbed it at all, it got vewy vewy quiet. But this morning it was finished. It looks like a strange little needle-felted bead. I’ll post [...]

First caterpillar update
Day two of Caterpillar in Captivity! I found some clover this morning, but when I checked on the caterpillar, it was clinging to the underside of the grape stem and not moving. You can see a bit of webby stuff on the stick - I’m hoping it’s beginning to make a cocoon and the issue [...]

Recycled t-shirt quilt
Craftstylish has a really nice two-part tutorial on making a t-shirt quilt (one, two) - it’s a neat way to keep visiting those favorite t-shirts after they’re too worn to be worn. I think I’ll have to do this with my son’s favorite-yet-outgrown t-shirts, rather than just save them in a box. (via WhipUp)
Kids Craft Weekly
I signed up a while ago for the Kids Craft Weekly email newsletter - my son is older, so he’s outgrown pretty much all of the crafts, but they have lots of fun, inexpensive craft ideas for smaller kids, and it’s free! This week’s issue was about making simple cards; there were some really cute [...]
