Can it possibly be that time again? Has it really been an entire year since we wrapped up 2010? We started out our year behind schedule on our beach house remodel. I spent the holidays dealing with a nightmare contractor who was supposed to have lifted our house nine feet off the ground to better capture the view. Fortunately, after consulting a construction attorney, and interviewing and getting bids from several other contractors, we fired the old house raiser and found the perfect contractor to take on our project in January. He squeezed us into his schedule. *My personal favorite post of the year was when our house was finally lifted up onto cribbing. During the lull between the holidays and when the remodel could resume, I was able to do a little crafting. *My Jimmy Choo inspired handbag was one of my most popular posts this year! It still gets lots of hits daily, and has inspired another handbag project I'm working on, now. *Another popular project with my readers was my Mod Podge Union Jack picture with faux tin letters. *This nature inspired garland made from vintage crepe paper, vintage book pages, and a few other random elements was a huge hit. This project was inspired by the Japanese Magnolias that were blooming in our rooftop garden. *We received some delightful news, which made us re-think our plans for the beach house courtyard. During the beach house remodel, we found ourselves house hunting. Again. We needed a pied-a-terre in the city. During our search, I was struck by the number of really bad kitchens in the MLS listings. *I decided to do a couple of virtual budget make-overs to show how, with a little DIY knowledge and elbow grease, a kitchen could be made more beautiful and more functional. Around mid-year, things started to get a little crazy around here. Our daughter came to stay with us, as her husband was being deployed to Afghanistan. We had to rush the remodel, and make changes in some of our finish choices, to have the guest wing of the beach house completed in time. After my daughter arrived, we had just a few weeks to bring the remodel in the rest of the house to a stopping point. You see, we were expecting another houseguest to arrive, and we did not want the commotion and dust that goes along with having contractors in your house. *I continued working on little projects around the beach house, but found I wasn't as efficient as I had been in the past. It's just so hard to do DIY when you're snuggling a sweet little grandbaby... By the time the holidays rolled around, I was ready for some small portable projects to work on. *We had recently purchased our pied-a-terre, a marina condo, with a boat slip, a parking place, and a storage locker -- but no bathroom fixtures! It was a bank-owned-flip-gone-wrong, so we got it for a song, and had begun renovations on it. *I needed to take a little break from projects involving ladders and power tools, so I did a couple of Christmas projects. *These little mitten ornaments turned out to be really popular on Pinterest! It was really special, putting together our first Christmas mantel at our beach house. We were surrounded by packing boxes and unfinished projects, but we still managed to pull something together. * Christmas morning found us all in the beach house living room, with a crackling fire, a lovely Christmas tree, and an amazing view of the Pacific. Looking back, we didn't accomplish as nearly much as we had expected, but we also accomplished more. Funny how that works.... How about you? Did 2011 turn out the way you expected?

This is a 'study star' I made to help my daughter revise her work for an upcoming science exam. (I made it as she has a physical disability making writing laborious and also resulting in individual notes flying everywhere!) I'm sharing in case there are others, like me who have had trouble finding interesting and useful ways of revising a lot of written information! She's studying the human digestive system so I started with the mouth, teeth and tongue and saliva. I listed all the enzymes and other key things involved in each stage then moved on to moving food. This covered the oesophagus (esophagus in American spelling I believe...) peristalsis and so on. The 4 pointed star has 3 'pages' per point giving 12 spaces to order and organize all the facts she will need up to the small intestine. It's easily transported too so she can do a quick cram on the way to the exam :) To make your own study star simple cut 2 large squares the same size and one smaller (cut more squares for more pages/flaps.) Fold the corners of the square into the middle so the points touch. (See pic one) repeat with all the layers and glue JUST the back of each square (when unfolded it's easy to see the fold lines that make a square) onto the front of the square behind it... Write the details and personalise it last, you will be surprised how much information these study stars will hold! May your nest be blessed, Lisa

these paper stars are fast and easy and make great ornaments! or, stick one on a package or in a card. i hope you can follow my instructions. if you have any questions, leave me a comment! these work best with a sturdy sort of paper, such as book pages or music sheets. i have made them with maps, which are really pretty, but they tend to come apart more easily. you can put a dab of glue to hold them together if you have this problem. origami paper would also be great. here goes! start with eight pieces of paper, 1 1/2" wide by 3" long. fold each piece in half lengthwise. *note: keep the prettiest side of your paper on the outside. now, with the folded edge on top and the open edge on the bottom, fold each end up at a right angle (the paper i used was very old and ripped a bit when i folded it, but that is the folded edge at the top, it just looks a little ripped!) fold each of these pieces in half. insert the points of one piece into the little pockets on the open edge of another piece. you will have something like this. continue inserting all of the other pieces into one another! square things up a bit as you go. when you have all eight pieces together, insert the first piece into the last! and VOILA!!! a lovely little star!
For those of you that asked... Yes, we have been busy making more of these, and will have them at the upcoming shows, along with some new ones. Thanks, and hope to see you soon.
Okay, this isn't a "new design". I actually made this last Christmas, but never had time to write a post about it during the holidays. The original idea was to create a kind of "shadow box" and add a nativity silhouette in the center, but on a whim I suspended a pretty ornament in the center, instead. Basically, this is a star made from rolled vintage book pages. I used an old pen to roll the pages all the same size, then secured each little roll with a smidgen of tacky glue. Next, I made a pattern for a five-pointed star, using this method. Then, a back was cut from scrap cardboard, and covered with book pages. The first course of paper tubes was glued to the edges of the back piece. This is how the back looks, from behind. The second course was layered on. To stabilize the courses, I added short pieces of rolled pages and rested each consecutive course atop the two pieces. It probably wasn't totally necessary to do it this way, but it made the star stronger, and kept the courses even. I just trimmed to the correct length as I went along. After about six or seven layers, I added a flat cardboard layer and covered it with vintage book pages. Then, I added the last several layers, creating a shadow box. This star would look great leaning on a mantel, topping a tree, or used horizontally as part of a holiday centerpiece. I think mine will go on the mantel at the beach house. To see some other types of stars made from vintage book pages, go here to see a tutorial for a woven star... ....or go here to see how to make a dimensional five-pointed star in any size!
