When my kids were younger, we had so many marbles. Seriously, those little things could be found in every crack and corner of my house. Now that the kids have sort of outgrown their marble playing days, I started thinking about what I could do with those marbles. I mean, we’re talking so many marbles!
I love this time of year, when the leaves start to fall and everywhere is full of colour. We went out this morning and collected as many leaves, sticks and pinecones as we could find. Here are some ideas what to do with them.
Like turning geodes into air plant containers and etching glass jars.

Love this project, but prefer to buy your own instead?
Looks like we just came home from a fun vacation doesn't it. These are popular in tourist areas and many young girls get them on summer trips with their families. But you don't have to travel to an island in the Bahamas to get one of these you can do them yourself. They are easy and a fun way to celebrate summer. You will need embroidery floss and a scissors. Take a small section of hair and put it into a tight braid a bit smaller than the diameter of a pencil. Getting it wet may help hold in stray hairs. It may also help if you pull the rest of the hair back into a quick ponytail to keep it out of the way. Choose the colors of floss you want to use and cut them 4 times the length of the braid. We choose 4 colors. Much more than 4 and you may have to make your braid a bit thinner because the floss is going to make it larger. Put all your pieces together and find the middle. Place the middle under your braid and tie a knot as close to the top of your braid as you can. I just used a single knot but pulled pretty tight. Keep an eye on it and try to keep it high, it may try to slide down a bit as you start wrapping. Choose the color you want to start with. Grab both strands of that color and wrap around the braid starting at the top. Make sure each time you go around you are right next to the last time you went around so that it covers the braid and the other colors. Wrap tightly, but make sure you are not pulling so much that the knot is sliding down. If it is push it back up to the top. Some people do fancy knots as they go down I have done this before but it takes way more time, It is harder to keep stray hairs out, and it is really hard to remove when you want your wrap out. I also like the clean smooth look of this better. When you want to change colors, just put the strands of the color you are using back into the middle and grab the two strand of the color you want to change two and pick up wrapping where you left off. Since you are wrapping with two strands at a time you could wrap with say one pink and one blue. It gives the wrap a neat stripe look. It does get a little more tricky when you do this, because you have to make sure your strings stay in order and do not cross at all as you wrap. Single color blocks are easier until you have more practice. When you get to a point you want to end it. Just take all the strands you have and tie them in a looped knot back on themselves. They do not need to be tied around the hair at the end. I left off a bit from the end of the braid so the her hair is hanging a bit out of the end. Sometimes they cut the ends at vacation destinations, sometimes you can continue it longer just wrapping the floss itself and then tie a ending knot if you have your floss long enough. Anyway super fun, super cute, not expensive, and not too hard. Great for sleepovers. Or any holiday theme Click to see a Halloween Candy Corn Hair Wrap Pattern. Linking up here:

Carrier Bead Patterns, Odd Count Peyote, Three-Colour Patterns, Full Word Charts, Colourway 2 Carrier beads need strips 7 beads wide, and either 48 or 50 rows, depending on the manufacturer. I've designed to 48 rows as it meant I was more likely to be able to join patterns as I could use multiples of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12. 50 rows only gives multiples of 5. Full Word Charts included. 30 pages Stitches used: Odd count peyote There are lots of techniques to manage odd count peyote. My favourite is this one by Kelly Dale from Off the Beaded Path: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsp19Vi0NlU Beads: 11/0 Delicas Difficulty: This is a beginners, easy level pattern.

Anybody have crafty moms, dads or guardians? My mom was a crafty lady. She had a box of embroidery floss that I would gaze at. It had about 100 colors in spectral order and I would ask to just look at it. I would pick out my favorite color and read the name at the top of the container. Each color had a sku number and I was enamored with their names. Apparently I asked my mom when I was younger if I could have it when she “fades away”. So poetic. She used these to cross stitch. She had all sorts or cross stitch hanging up around the house, my favorite being a sampler in the bathroom near the decorative towels and eucalyptus branches. As she got older her interests turned more into quilting and that’s stuck with her for the years. She ended up giving me that box of embroidery floss when I picked up cross stitch in my early 20’s. I still love that box of thread even though my interests have shifted to beading. I was cleaning out some of my old crafting boxes and I came across a cross stitch magazine of my moms from 1992. I flipped through and found an awesome pattern for “A Sampler with Heart” and it filled my with such warm feelings that I had to make a pair straightaway. These Country Traditions earrings fill me with such joy, and we hope they do the same for you. A classic cross stitch pattern reimagined into earrings, Country Traditions contains glass seed beads woven one bead at a time. Newsprint, mandarin, brick red, flame orange, sea opal, eucalyptus, agate blue, cobalt, and dark orchid seed beads make up these long gorgeous earrings in a stunning floral and criss cross design. They long option hang at 6.25 inches long and the shorter version is just a tiny bit over 3inches long. Both are just a touch wider than .5 inches. They are hung from a sterling silver ear wire.
