The weekend is upon us. What crafty ideas do you have planned? Are you going to thread that needle and MAKE something? I hope so!
Sometimes it’s the time factor that makes the difference between starting a project and throwing up our hands in despair. Try to carve out a little creative time for yourself this weekend. Get up a little bit earlier, stay up a bit later. Make yourself a good cup of tea or coffee. Take a deep breath. And CRAFT. It will be worth it. I promise!
Here are some ideas to help you get started:

Wonderful inspirations, Michael ~ Thank you for including my sachets xo Now I need to try my hand at some of those soaps!
@Karen – It’s always a pleasure to inspire. Thank you! Sometimes it takes just a little nudge…and we’re ready for something new. Melt and pour soap-making is fun. Enjoy!
