It’s really hard to say when, but sometimes I legitimately feel like this.

DIY Cross Stitch Lamp. You have to buy the lamp and it’s quite expensive, but couldn’t you do this yourself with cross stitch canvas, and a light kit? Found at Decor8 here. There is a whole site/community based around LampGustaf’s lamps here, where you can create your own pattern, see tons of others uploaded by people, where to buy etc…
The purpose of my blog has become to catalog unique crafts that I truly love and would do myself. I love the look of handmade crafts - handmade in a good way. My crafts tend to be doable and inexpensive - because I have either done them myself or intend on doing them. "Doable" doesn't mean "simple" crafts, but rather crafts that have tutorials that are clear and easy to understand. *I will never copy an entire tutorial from any blogger because that takes away page views from their site and 99.99% of the time it violates their copyright policy. I also will not reblog a post if the entire tutorial is published without the permission of the original blogger. I will cite, if known, sources for my posts because I believe in giving credit to the photographer/designer/blogger. Also, to act like something is your own idea, when it isn't, is just wrong.
