Friday Link Parade

Still not the title I want... I will keep working it.


So, Cake Wrecks is still amusing me greatly. This week you must check out the Naughty bits post.

Jewelry Making Daily had a gread tip on how to make Perfect Earwires. This is so simple you will slap yourself on the head for not thinking of it!

For some good instructions on what to do if your resin has bubbles, visit this post on Resin Crafts.

And finally, for those of you who saw my necklace this week and said, "I don't normally like steampunk, put that is pretty!" Here is a video to give you a better idea of what steampunk SHOULD be (and to explain my joke about being unable to resist gluing on gears):

Weekly Web Wrapup!

Hmmm... too many W's. I will work on that.

To start us off, we are saying goodbye to a legend. This week the world says farewell to Davy Jones.

After that, we may need a little cheering up, so we head to a completely hysterical post at Cake Wrecks.

Next we think about how names, proper or otherwise, have meaning by following the discussion over on Craftsy's Blog about what to call one who sews.

For tomorrow, you can hop on in to the 5th Bead Soup Blog Party. Even though I am not a participant this time around, I will definately be taking in all the lovely things created for this!

And finally, for the month of March Fusion Beads is celebrating National Crafts Month by having a 30 Day Bead Challenge that includes something new and crafty to do each day! I will participate in this sporatically as the mood strikes me, but they have some great ideas of crafty things you can do!

Go forth and enjoy the web!

This Week on the Web

As part of my plan to have a more structured blog format, Friday will be the day when I share with you the fun places I found on the web this week. Some places will be jewelry/craft related, some will not. Enjoy, I did!

Cake Wrecks - this site is so much fun that I won't bother sending you to a specific page. Just make sure you are somewhere that you won't get in trouble for unending giggling. (also check out her site Epbot where she has all things geeky and frequently crafty!)

Hardly Housewives has some great craft ideas and recipes. Specifically this chicken recipe I tried and it was WONDERFUL!

Rings & Things has listed some new base metal findings. My favorite is the shaped crimps. I don't think I will ever use plain crimps again!

RainyMood.com is just really soothing.

The blog I still love you has a cool tutorial on braiding leather.

And finally, this wire woven vessel is one of the most impressive things I have seen in a while!
