Tutorial Exchange Post Using Steady Stand for a One Stop Photo Op

The biggest benefit is that the stand eliminates harsh shadows

One Stop Photo Op Tutorial at Stealth & Aces Blog

"My goal with this product was to create a One Stop Photo Op studio.  I used to spend WAY too much time taking photos, and then retaking them because I had gotten a shadow of my camera in the picture, and then would spend even more time in Photoshop trying to edit them so the color and contrast were just so.  Needless to say, it was time consuming and frustrating and my goal was to find a way to take one picture that I could instantly upload to Etsy without needing to alter it.  With the Modahaus Steady Stand and a lamp, I am able to achieve that goal.  First, set up your Steady Stand.  It’s really simple, straightforward and comes with instructions, so I won’t bore you with those details"....

What a great gift for a new Mom

Taggy Shopping Cart Handle Cover Tutorial at Jennas Random Ramblings Blog

"My daughter is old enough to sit in a cart now, but if I am not super vigilant to watch her, Selah will chomp her mouth right down on the cart handle. Very disgusting, I know! Someone gave me a cart insert that covers the entire cart seat, and uses multiple straps to attach securely. It's nice, but I never remember to take it with me to the store, and the few times I've had it in the car, it was a huge pain to attach to the cart while juggling a squirmy baby (and it was too bulky to fit in my diaper bag). Anybody with me here??? I wanted to make something that was small enough to fit in my purse, quick to attach, and would keep my baby girl entertained while I shopped. I'm happy to say that this handle cover met all those qualifications! Want to make one for your child or one to give a way to a new mom".... Read more

Such a Sweet Basket for Easter Treats

Easter Basket Tutorial at Mummas Time to Create Blog

"Laurie is one of my favourite designers and I completely adore this fabric, but it was actually harder than I thought it would be to think of a tutorial this time for some reason...So in typical Kat style I cheated and opened up the topic on my blog for suggestions from readers of what to make. In other words asked you to do much of the hard work for me ;)
I had some great suggestions but one in particular totally gave me a "why didn't I think of that, that's SUCH a great idea moment" and I knew I didn't need to look any further." Read more
