Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

This dishcloth pattern would also work well as a large granny square for use in an afghan. I am not sure how big it would be if you made it with acrylic yarn but I imagine that it would not be much different in size.

Random Quick Tip!

Keep Kids Busy
Most of us probably have crafting scraps kicking around and not doing anything, well for those of you who have kids, get all of the supplies out and let them make stuff with them while you get some gift wrapping done or some holiday baking done. Don't forget, there will be a few days before the big day where the kids will be at home and bored. Let them go wild and see what they come up with!
