Craft This! Weekly July 30, 2010

Another Friday, another results post and new Craft This! Weekly challenge.

This week's challenge was the word "eating". I spent a good portion of the week wondering what I was going to do with an "eating" theme. There were a lot of possibilities - should I make some felt food? A table cloth or table runner? Or maybe some bibs? Since I intend to sell bib sets in the shop, I decided to work on a bib pattern. Here is what I came up with:







Jessica from Pecan Sandies made some very cute playfood. Check out her post here.

This week's challenge word is chosen by Jessica. The theme is "retro" and I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Craft This! Weekly July 22, 2010

It's Friday! The start of the weekend and the day that we show the results from last week and present the new "Craft This! Weekly" challenge.

Last week's challenge word was "alphabet" and here is what we did with it:

This week's theme (chosen by Jessica at Pecan Sandies) could not have been more perfect for me. We are currently going through renovations and the prevalent theme in our playroom is letters and numbers. It seemed obvious that I should make some new curtains for the room out of some A B C fabric that I had from the "Back to School" range of fabrics designed by Ellen Krans.

Jessica made an awesome felt board with letters, numbers, and shapes. Check out her blog post about it at Pecan Sandies

This week's word was chosen by me. It is "eating". Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Pillowcase Dress in Pink Vintage Fabric

I'm trying to decide if I should offer pillowcase dresses in the etsy shop when it opens, and so I was playing around with some styles, decorations, and fabric today. I made this sweet pillowcase dress for my daughter with a pink vintage floral pattern with raised white dots. The ribbon is a durable white satiny ribbon. My photography style is the patented "Snap a bunch of pictures while she runs around like a mad thing and hope that some turn out".

Be sure to check in tomorrow to post a link to your take on the "Craft This! Weekly" challenge! Next week's challenge will also be posted.

July 16th Challenge - Alphabet

This week's challenge word is "alphabet"... can't wait to see what you fabulous crafters come up with!

Craft This! Weekly

You've reached the home of "Craft This! Weekly". Here's how it works.

Every Friday a new challenge will be posted (idea selection will be rotated back and forth between myself and Jessica from www.pecan-sandies.com). Crafters and Craft Bloggers use the one word challenge to draw inspiration and create something within the week that fits the description. It could be a colour, a shape, an object, etc.

You can post a link to your blogpost highlighting your take on the previous week's "Craft This!" challenge. Every crafter has different ideas and perspective so there should be a wide range of projects within the one word guideline.

Enjoy!
