Last week I showed you some of the new fabrics from the HGTV Fabric line from Joann Fabrics. I decided to use the Ring Around Peacock fabric to make a sewing machine dust cover for my Singer 160 machine. The plastic one that came with it was terrible and I think my hot glue gun had attacked it. For some reason I kept pushing this project off thinking it would be hard to do.

You might want to wait a second before you give them the old heave-ho, and check out the tutorials I’ve found for upcycling everything from cable knit to cashmere.
Acorns are the nut, or small seedling, of the mighty oak tree. Their pleasing, rounded shape, interesting textures, and warm brown tones make them perfect subjects for fall craft projects. Take a look at this collection of acorn themed crafts I’ve found, and I think you’ll become a fan of the little nuts, too!
I’m having a hard time dealing with the fact that summer vacation is almost over. We can count the number of days left before school starts on one hand, now, since my little guy goes back to school on Tuesday. Yikes!
