"I really love the idea of this pompom wreath, although I've never made pom poms before. Has anyone tried the fork method?"

"I love these ornaments, especially the delicate brushstroke detail. And I love the pop of pink, it's such an unexpected color for a Christmas tree."

"This is such a cozy looking ornament. I love the idea of it. I'm thinking it would be a great way to recycle some old tired ornaments that has chipped paint or other blemishes. Cloth from favorite garments, a wedding dress, graduation gown, a baby blanket or nice new swatches would make really special ornaments. I think this is so simple that it would work for a craft with grandchildren too."

"This is really a beautiful wreath because of the flannel. I think this would be a wonderful wreath to make from some of my late father in law's flannel shirts. I would use other kinds of embellishments on the side of the wreath. So many different things could be used. Silk flowers, real pine cones, etc. My father in law got the nickname candy man because he passed out peppermint swirl candies to his grandchildren. The cellophane wrapped candies would be perfect in the dcor too."

Melba Rhodes My name in crafting circles is buggalcrafts but I am also known as Melba to my nearest and dearest, a name that I once hated but have now come to appreciate it's un-commonness.

I am a full time mother and Me-Me, a more or less disorganized housewife (LOL), a reluctantly disabled person, and an invertebrate, totally unrepentant and mostly self-taught crafter. I have been crafting almost all my life. My mom said I was “born with a book in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other” as these two hobbies both have actually become obsessions at times (OK, which of you hasn’t stayed up to 2:00 am just to finish one more craft?)! I might have even been born with paint in my hair IF I had any hair back then, but I was as my older sister put it when momma brought me home from the hospital a “Bless it’s heart, poor little bald head” baby!

I love almost any craft but a few are just too "crewel" for me and my sewing is just "sew-sew" but hey, I’m heck with glue! I can't say I've tried to make an outfit with glue YET, but it's always good to have a goal!
