I am totally swooning over this amazing felt container from A Ervilha Cor de Rosa (a great Portuguese craft blog if you don’t know it already). I love the sturdy felt paired with the frilly edging, the rounded shape with the zipper in the middle, the unexpected matching of brown and gray and red … everything about it, really! What a fun little container for carrying projects around in or storing some of your less-lovely-to-look-at craft materials. (Fingers crossed Rosa puts some in her shop!) — via CRAFT

Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood of CraftSanity shows how you can turn an old book into a weaving loom by pounding nails in to the cover. She even shares a project from a woman named Margaret Jager who created a beautiful shawl from squares woven on her own book loom. Margaret’s response to Jennifer’s question of why Margaret would use a knitting book to create her loom is priceless. Check out Jennifer’s post to see Margaret’s answer and the tutorial for making your own book loom — via CRAFT

This awesome Star Wars cross-stitch baby blanket and pillow were created by Flickr user, Kiddy Amunda, as gifts for a friend’s baby. What a cool heirloom for this family! Kiddy Amunda is also the genius behind the amazing Logan’s Run cross-stitch pillow we featured back in July — via CRAFT
