The Most Fun and Frugal Craft--Plastic Canvas Needlepoint
by: Cyndi Roberts
The most fun and frugal craft around is
Plastic Canvas Needlepoint. The supplies
are very inexpensive and easy to find, plus
it's easy to learn for anyone of any age.
The charts are easy to read and there's no
need to get out the magnifying glass in
order to see what you're doing!
Even the most inexperienced beginner can
turn out a project worthy of admiration.
Plastic Canvas Needlepoint is worked by
cutting shaped pieces from sheets
of plastic canvas; then working stitches
on the canvas. Worsted weight yarn is
the most common type of yarn used, but
specialty plastic canvas yarn is also available.
Details are often worked using regular
embroidery stitches and embroidery floss.
And plastic canvas is a great way to use up the
yarn you have left from other projects.
It's a very rewarding kind of needlework.
When you work with plastic canvas, projects
are not just flat wall hangings or pillows.
Probably the item most people think of when
they think of plastic canvas is a tissue
box cover, but so much more can be done with
plastic canvas, from birdhouses to picture
frames to purse accessories to baskets to
doorstops. The list just goes on and on!
A handmade gift from the heart is always
appreciated. Plastic canvas makes up beautifully
into nursery items just perfect for those baby
showers. Projects work up quickly and
they are very portable. Many stitchers like
to keep a totebag just to carry along in order to
stitch a little when the opportunity arises.
Make accessories for your own home; any pattern
can be customized by changing the colors to
match your decor. It is these handmade details
that make a house a "Home".
The sheets of plastic canvas are very, very
inexpensive. They're readily available at
discount and craft stores. Worsted-weight yarn
can be purchased at bargain prices, also. Plus,
garage sales and yard sales are great places
to pick up all kinds and colors of yarn. A little
goes a long way in plastic canvas!
So if you're looking for a craft that is fun and
affordable, look no further...Plastic Canvas
Needlepoint is for you!

A Little Known Secret to Successful Outdoor Gardening ......Pruning
A Little Known Secret to Successful Outdoor Gardening ......Pruning
by: Leonard Mutch
Outdoor gardening is so much easier when you know how.
Outdoor gardening is much more enjoyable when you know a few secrets.
Much of the enjoyment of outdoor gardening comes from the care and proper maintenance of the garden.
Not many plants will look their best without some help, and pruning is one of these techniques considered essential to outdoor gardening if plants are to flower and fruit well, and to keep pests and diseases at bay.
For those inexperienced in outdoor gardening, pruning can often be a reason for concern.
Questions may arise, such as when is the best time to prune, and how, and where.
We prune our trees and shrubs mainly to increase flowering and fruiting, to control diseases, or to change the size or shape of the plant.
Some shrubs such as Forsythia need an annual prune of their older wood to help maintain...

Baby Shower Cakes - More Than Just Dessert
Baby Shower Cakes - More Than Just Dessert
by: Debbie Pettitt
A baby shower is a way for family and friends to celebrate the expected arrival of a new baby with the parents-to-be. It is a joyous occasion and fun for all!
But hosting a great baby shower takes some real planning.
A very important part of the planning process is the cake.
Every baby shower needs a cake, but the cake can serve as more than just a dessert--it can also double as a decoration, even a centerpiece!
Most baby showers have a theme, and the entire party is based on that theme. The cake is no exception and should also follow whatever theme you've chosen.
If you're talented and can bake and decorate a cake (or know someone who can), you may want to have a home-made cake.
Or you can order one from a bakery, making sure you place your order in plenty of time for the shower.
Once you've decided whether it will be home-made...
