Why Mosaic?

On October 22, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics12 Comments

"I just want to drink coffee and make pretty things!" I've used that quote before, in "Coffee and Pretty Things", but it is so true for me that I had to use it again. In fact, I think I need to change it to "I just want to drink coffee and make everything!" So I …

Peg Dolls!

Who knew you could make dolls out of wooden pegs? Well I must not have, because when I did see these adorable crafts on Pinterest they were an immediate "must try" item for me. I guess peg dolls weren't something I had really thought about before. I love their simplicity and variety, but most of …

Just “Felt” Like It

On August 21, 2019August 21, 2019 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized6 Comments

I've always liked felt. Felt is a handy material to make things out of, partly because it doesn't fray when you cut it out, partly because it comes in so many colors, and it is relatively cheap. And you can make so many cute things out of it! Granted, I enjoy looking at felt ideas …

Especially if you're trying to make your backyard drought-resistant and just a tiny bit bohemian (read: "eccentric" if you must).This is from September of last year, but …

About 5 or 6 years before I retired from teaching... ...I asked an eighth grade girl why she was doing whatever she was doing in my class. (I don't remember what it was now, you can fill in the blank: texting on her phone, playing games on her tablet, talking to her friends, doing her …

Baby Socks

On May 9, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

At my house there's a new motivation to clean the sewing room! The reason can be expressed in the following three words: "It's a girl!"Yes, Kate and Carlos had a girl! So I am now in "sewing heaven" with all the baby ideas I have found on Pinterest. Fortunately I have no shortage of materials …

Keys, Part 1

On August 7, 2016May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

What is is about keys anyway? If there is one thing it seems we hate to throw away, it's an old key. And the funny thing is that we are at the point of throwing it away only because we have no clue what it goes to anymore. But yet it has to go into …
