Hi Doodles Followers!

Isn't this a beautiful stairway view?

Hi again so soon! I seem to be bubbling over with goodies these days -- it could be because May and June are full of so many special events for everyone! With proms, graduations, Mother's Day and Father's Day there's also spring cleaning to be done and revamping interior decor and exterior ... lots of outdoor planting to be done too! So here's a bunch of hodge-podge things I found fun and interesting and thought you would to!

This chandelier project is from "Zelfmaken" a Dutch Magazine. Within the post you'll see the word Sjbloon Kroonluchter (PDF) - click on it to download the PDF pattern print out to use to recreate your own chandelier!

What a different and cute shelf idea!

This is something I've always wanted to do, as I made-a-page, but some of those how-to books I've invested in haven't gone into as much detail as has The Bookbinding Tutorial by James Darrow - JamesDarrowDeviantart.com. This 10-page (print out front/back 5-pages) has to be printed and saved in your files -- I love how I can, at my leisure, create a page as a keeper page and just add it; not at all like creating a page that I dislike in the book and wondering how to remove it without damaging the book if it didn't turn out to my liking!

Jazz up some letters with colorful string-thread-twine-yarn "whatever" is a great way to wrap around letters for a child's decor! What a nice baby shower gift. Using cardboard letters from The Paper Source or Hobby Lobby you just may turn into a darn yarn-wrapping freak!

 Paper Folding Bow photo tutorial.

I have a fondness for purses, especially recycled projects. We Upcycle's grown up purse from juice boxes is inspirational enough to want to create. Although there isn't a "pattern" for the photo's designs I've found some patterns and tutorials that should help you get started ... try it, it's fun!

The recycled purse is one of the ultimate recyling projects, utilizing things like potato chip bags, magazine pages, candy wrappers, juice containers for construction materials using a simple weaving technique, although there are several techniques to doing this, even as simple as basic decoupage. Woof Nanny at the Purse Project not only has some gorgeous purse creations but also includes a few gum wrapping tutorials that will help guide you through the process.

Ricochet and Away has a paper weaving tutorial for a darling purse design ... and so much more, that should give you an idea of how it's done!

Make your own reusable Shopping Bags pattern.

What a lovely planter idea for the overhang on a patio - this unique yet functional project, old chandelier turne planter, is dressed up and put to good use for under 20-bucks by Renee Garner (Miss Modish finding) -- you can find Renee doodling the days away at Wolfie and The Sneak!

Very often while cruising and bouncing, stumbling from blog to blog I come across something I like to call 'plan ahead ideas' (mainly because I'll never find the dang article again when it's around that time to make it). Lil Fish Studios Felt Poinsettia Brooch tutorial is a fun accent piece for your winter wrap lapel! Always a sweet gift to give too! Lisa Jordan gives you step-by-step how-to's and poinsettia pattern to print out to make your recreation easier to do! So go there and print it out now! :0)

When I lived and worked in Park City, Utah, an old mining town just a ways from Sundance, I really loved the Sundance Festivals. For a wonderful vacation experience you may want to think about the Sundance Summer Festival! You will truly enjoy the atmosphere of Park City and Sundance especially around the Fall season!
