Cutting Table Using Pre-Made Cubes

Cutting Table Using Pre-Made Cubes

As I was searching the web for fabric storage ideas, I came across this post on the Georgia Peachez Blog. The DYI island provides lots of storage for fabric and a great cutting space!!!  To create this cutting table, Suzy Spence connected four storage cubes.  Link to March 9, 2012 post on Suzy's blog for more information on the DYI project. 

I couldn't help thinking about the large amount of fabric that could be stored in the cubes, if comic backer boards were used to fold the fabric. Click here to link to a post describing the fabric folding technique.

Crocheting with Heidi Bears

African Flower Crochet Hexagon Pattern

Heidi Bears' African Flower Crochet Hexagon

As I was searching the web today, I came across a crochet tutorial from Heidi Bears.  Her colorful yarns, creative crochet patterns and easy-to-follow directions enticed me to further explore the post on African Flower Crochet Hexagons.  Since my experience in crocheting is limited, I am anxious to learn how to make hexagons.

I first started crocheting in 1972 during a seven hour bus trip to college.  As I boarded the bus, I had a pattern with instructions on how to crochet a Granny Square, a crochet hook, and yarn.  I was determined to complete at least one Granny Square before arriving at my destination.  Trust me...it took the whole seven hours to figure out the instructions!!!  I was so proud of my master piece.  

Now I am excited to try Heidi's hexagon design!

On Heidi's blog there is also a tutorial on joining the hexagons together. Follow this link for the tutorial...click here.
