Dry Erase Magnets tutorial, plus other magnet ideas!
Look what I made yesterday! I had this brainstorm about making dry erase magnets back when I was making magnet projects for the May club, but I was just going to try it with white paper, for a plain white background… then I saw this tutorial via Craft: and thought of using images for theContinue reading “Dry Erase Magnets tutorial, plus other magnet ideas!”
Farewell Threadbanger, it’s been a good 2 years!
I just got some bummer news earlier this week that my run of Threadbanger weekly roundups has come to an end. It’s been over 2 years (109 roundups) of posting every single Friday, so it feels really weird today that I’m not collecting awesome projects to share with TB readers. But, coincidentally, this gig endedContinue reading “Farewell Threadbanger, it’s been a good 2 years!”
Future club 2.0 and May leethal quick knits club!
I’m so excited to tell you about my future leethal quick knits club plans! I’ve been brainstorming about it and planning out all the details for the last couple of weeks, and I’m really looking forward to making the switch, which will happen after I’ve completed 1 full year of the current club. Not sureContinue reading “Future club 2.0 and May leethal quick knits club!”
Switch Plates! And how to make one from an old record cover!
My club mail out day was Tuesday, and, like I do every month, I put the 2 patterns up on ravelry and flickr after sending out the pdf to the members. Normally, since the patterns aren’t available to the public, plus they are small trinkets that most knitters don’t seem to care much about, thisContinue reading “Switch Plates!

From Thrifty Finds to Crafty Lamp!
A couple of years ago I came upon a bag of granny squares at the Goodwill bins! Score! No two colorways alike, they were obviously handmade, the start to a project that was never finished: I washed them, then they sat there for 2 years, waiting waiting waiting for a project… and then I gotContinue reading “From Thrifty Finds to Crafty Lamp!”
Make-a-Long results!
Oh yeah, how did the Make-a-Long go?! I’ve had to dive head-first into packing this week, as our moving day quickly approaches, so I kind of forgot to blog about it sooner… I think many of you had fun with it! I followed along on twitter and facebook a bit througout the day, but didn’tContinue reading “Make-a-Long results!”

Crafting all through the night? Yes please!!
Ok this is an idea I had way back around maybe July of last year… I kept pushing it and pushing it, thinking next month, next month, and now with the move happening so soon, I just really want to do it, finally! What is it, you ask? The idea is: 24 hour Make-a-Long! TheContinue reading “Crafting all through the night? Yes please!!”
Month of leethal Giveaways!
So all the house-buying stuff has been going super well, and now our moving date is exactly one month from today! That means many things, a major one being that I need to de-stash! I also would like to make an extra bit of moving-expenses money, so I’m kind of combining these needs into aContinue reading “Month of leethal Giveaways!”
