Come craft away with me.

If you're anything like me, from time to time you get these grand ideas about projects and crafts that will be oh-so-trendy yet oh-so-easy. 

If you're anything like me, these projects rarely work out. 

Since attending the craft festival this weekend in Cave Spring, Ga., the itch to craft has become … itchier.

Here are a couple interesting ideas from Readymade magazine, a bimonthly do-it-yourself instructional handbook. It's a crafter's dream. And who's to stop me from dreaming?


This updated suitcase lookes delighfully retro with just a small addition. 


This inventive bookcase is way too complicated for my pitiful crafting skills, but I'm drawn to it's eclectic, home-y and geometric look. 

I'm currently working on re-covering four chairs that live on our backporch with a nice printed fabric and sewing a matching tablecloth. I'll let you know how the crafting goes.
