Crafting Resource: Lost and Taken

It would be a ‘crime’… well, almost, not to share this. This guy Caleb of Lost and Taken is just too talented and generous in sharing his wonderful, wonderful textures! I could easily get lost and float in texture happiness whenever I visit his blog! I’m sure every graphic designer, scrapbooker out there would be in wonderland if they visit the site.

If you love tinkering with Photoshop and in need of textures, go visit Lost and Taken. You’d definitely be taken hahaha. I’ll be posting a scrapping freebie soon made out of textures from L & T. For now I’m off to do a bit of research on term insurance. Ciao!

Crochet and Knitting for A Cause

I was organizing my yarn box yesterday and I decided I wanna make something like a patchwork blanket/afghan. I have managed to collect a whole box of multi-colored yarns  and I was wondering what to do with them, so I just decided to make squares and just sew it all together to form a rectangular blanket. So I got on google and searched for simple but pretty crochet square patterns. One site came up that intrigued me coz I’ve been looking for patterns with cobbled look and they have it for FREE! The site is called HalfKnits.

They have some really wonderful patterns for squares plus my favorite would be their patterns for blanket edges. Do visit their site to download the patterns.
