Craft-a-Holic - Travel Art Desk & Fabric Eggs Tutorials

Hello, my name is Bridget and I am a craft-a-holic! Welcome to your weekly (if I'm lucky) crafty fix.

Tonight we have two super awesome tutorials for you to make and enjoy. A wonderful and inspiring travel art board/desk thingy and some adorable fabric eggs perfect for Easter or Spring-time decor.

Travel Desk -



Yet another thing I want/need to make for M. She is already such a little artist. Her love of drawing is so consuming that she asks for her colors all the time. This desk is the perfect thing for road trips or any car ride, and if you are an experienced seamstress, I'm sure you can even customize it to fit much more than art supplies.

Fabric Eggs -



This project is something so cute, yet it's not overkill. I rarely decorate the house for holidays, except for Christmas, because a lot of the deco is so cheese ball and U-G-L-Y. These sweet little eggs are eye-catching and really simple to make!

Enjoy the treats, crafters! Until next time...

Pretty Knits

My new crafty obsession is knitting. I really love it, even though I had a tough time getting the hang of it. But after a few weeks and many, many (soooo many) attempts, I have a new set of pretty spring accessories!



I used some super soft bamboo/wool mix yarn to make the bracelet and headband. The color is just lovely and totally reminded me of all the new leaves budding out on all our trees in the yard.

For anyone who knits, the patterns are very easy - like ridiculously easy. Both are done with your basic knit stitch on a US 8 needle.


To make the bracelet, cast on 4 stitches and knit/garter stitch, slipping the first as if to purl for nice edges, until it is long enough to fit around your wrist. Graft the two ends together and sew on a pretty button! Or if you are feeling extra creative, sew in some embroidery thread to make pretty decorations.



The headband is made exactly the same way, except you cast on 10 stitches instead of 4 and you make it the length of your head - not your wrist.. Graft ends together, and you are done!
