We wish good luck at birthdays, holidays when going somewhere or attempting something new and important. Thinking about that for a while naturally lead me to the worldwide excepted general symbol for good luck, the Elephant. The elephant is the symbol of power, strength, wisdom, and stability.

Tutorial - Travel Checkers Set and Drawstring Bag

Perfect for long distance car travel

Tutorial at Simply Shoe Boxes Blog

"I made this Travel Checkers Game a year or so ago and it got tucked away in the wrong place so it never got packed in an Operation Christmas Child shoe box gift. When my daughter found it I decided I'd share the instructions of how I made it in case anyone wanted to make one. I used felt for mine and I like how the felt pieces cling to the felt board; but you could just as easily make this a scrap buster project and sew strips to weave and little circles for the checker tokens.  This is a really quick project"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Felt Christmas Tree

Celebrate Christmas in July by making a felt tree

Tutorial at So Sew Easy Blog

"When my husband saw me gradually assembling and sewing what looked like a Christmas tree in late May, he was rather confused. He knows I like to be organised, but even he thought that was a bit early.  I tried to explain about Christmas in July, but he’s never heard of it.  We’re from the UK and its not a term you’d hear there – is it just the US?  You can read more about the origins of Christmas in July at Wikipedia.  Not to be deterred by his Scrooge impressions, I’ve made the cutest Christmas Tree.  What do you think?  It’s the perfect size to go on an entry table or use as a table centerpiece, although I designed it initially with toddlers in mind, so they could safely decorate their own Christmas Tree. I even included magic buttons to play Christmas Carols too".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Felt Box

No hemming or ironing necessary

Felt Box Tutorial at Oomanoot Blog

"Storage. Storage. Storage. Storage.  I think that if you’re a crafter, you can never have enough of it. There’s always more yarn to buy, a bag of fiberfill you can’t find room for, or scrap fabrics you know you will need some day.  I was almost done organizing my craft space (it’s always a WIP, but almost done this stage), I was only missing a few boxes to store said fabric and yarn in. What I really wanted were folding boxes, the type they have at Target – but there is no Target here, and IKEA didn’t have the right shape and color for what I wanted. I did not want to make them, and I put in a lot of effort trying to find ready made ones but couldn’t. So, I was left with no choice but to make them myself".... Read more
