Purse Making Crafty Tip
Making your own crochet or knit bag? Leave a long piece of yarn on each end of your project, so you can sew it together with a darning needle, without having to tie off more ends. Using this tip, will save you yarn and time!

Crafty Tip
I love making new and unusual things. That said, I love the classics as well. How does the thinking process goes? I draw inspiration from everywhere around me. But the main ones come to me before I go to sleep. So I always have my drawing board besides my bed :)
