Aldo might carry something like this. Their bags aren't too bad in my opinion

cell phone sleeves, pillow cases, amigurumi, coasters, and grocery bags....? I'm not sure if knitting is as versatile as crocheting, but I hope my suggestions help.

Summer crafts
Started about 1 year ago · Last post about 1 year ago ·
Micheal's, Hobby Lobby, and JoAnn's usually offer deals to teachers who buy art supplies in bulk. You could also try garage/estate sales and auctions. I've gotten most of my embroidery floss from estate sales/auctions, and I've walked away with a box (the size of those baby diaper boxes) full of floss for $5. And if you're thinking, "auctions actually auction off stuff like that?" The answer: yes. They auction things from cans of soda to yarn. Hope this helps! :)

who likes to crochet or knit!?
Started about 1 year ago · Last post about 1 year ago ·
I'm not sure if it was mentioned already, but whenever you crochet anything in a ball like form, you should flip it inside out so it keeps its shape. AND it makes it look neater. :) Not sure if that made any sense though. :P But it really does make the difference!

Painting with Nail Polish
Started about 1 year ago · Last post about 1 year ago ·
You probably wouldn't want to paint it with nail polish since it wouldn't last long. You could paint it with glow in the dark paint! Just be sure you don't paint it directly onto the bulb or glass as stated above. The heat from the bulb might cause the paint to react and get all sticky.

Wanting to learn to crochet - how did you learn?
Started almost 2 years ago · Last post 4 months ago ·
I learned the basics from watching youtube vids. And when I felt like I was somewhat experienced, I started checking out crochet books at the library and trying out projects. :) I remember it was exactly a year ago when I tried crocheting out and my very first amigurumi was hideous! lol But now I can whip up awesome hats and amazing amigurumi! If you keep trying, you'll get crocheting down in no time. Just have patience my dear.

halloween!
Started almost 2 years ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
I was Waldo last Halloween. : ) I knitted the hat and spray painted the stripes on a plain white tee. This year I plan on being the nurse from Silent Hill. I sewed the dress (and dyed it), found some old shoes from a local thrift shop, and right now I'm making the mask. The only thing that's left is getting fake blood all over my costume and I'm done! And the only money I spent was for the heels which were $5. I can't wait till I scare people. Hehehe

What weird things do you find attractive?
Started about 2 years ago · Last post 10 months ago ·
I find arms attractive. They can't be too big and bulky, or stick like and scrawny. I dig the in between look. lol I tell my boyfriend that his arms are uber sexy. He drums so his arms are perfectly toned and not disgustingly huge. I also like it when guys just talk and they suddenly give off a slight smile. I don't know how to explain it, but it makes me melt. My boyfriend does it a lot and I don't think he's aware that I'm a sucker for his "slight smiles". Haha.

People "stealing" my projects and selling it on etsy
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
The lady replied to my message and told me "life is life. I'm not going to remove the listing, so suck it up. I did do you the favor by removing the photos, so stop being immature by throwing a tantrum and insulting me." Tantrum? Insulting? There was no way I insulted her. I just asked her to remove the listing b/c she did not have my permission to sell my pattern. As for the tantrum part, I'm pretty sure anyone would be upset if it had happen to them. This lady really has a way to be rude and really likes to assume. I don't see how anyone can purchase anything from her. She doesn't care about her customers. She's all in it for the money.

Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
*sigh* I just hope Etsy does take her listing down. I messaged the seller and she said she's not willing to remove the listing b/c there were no copyrights to my project. (sadly enough, but now I should watermark ALL my photos.) It's horrible that people like that exist in the world. People are too money hungry.

People "stealing" my projects and selling it on etsy

Thank you Amber. I flagged that listing and literally typed up a Harry Potter book on why I flagged it. I read etsy's terms and services and what she did IS wrong. Etsy only allows sellers to sell things that are original and created (with the exception of selling supplies) by the owner of the shop. In this case, neither was the seller's original creations. She may have made the plush with her own hands, but she still violated etsy's terms.

People "stealing" my projects and selling it on etsy
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
I was browsing through etsy and I came across this listing:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/75161305/final-fantasy-moogle-kupooooo?show_panel=true
Needless to say this is MY project she took. Not only that, but she took my photos without permission and didn't even ask if she could use the pattern for profitable reasons.
http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/amigurumi-moogle
I took down the pattern b/c some people are just selfish and think it's ok to make money off of it. This may not a big deal to some of you, but it's not such a great feeling knowing that someone never gave you credit for your project. I just can't believe how selfish some people are.
I wanted to share this moogle pattern b/c I wanted the world to enjoy making their own plushies, but apparently people like to abuse the art of sharing.

Acne problem, Help please? :)
Started about 2 years ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
If you're breaking out on your cheeks, it could be that you makeup is old (if you wear any) or maybe you need to change you pillow sheets. Pillow sheets can cause massive breakouts if you don't change them from time to time. If that isn't the case, just drink plenty of water, wash your 2-3 times a day, NEVER wear makeup to sleep, exfoliate your face once a week, and maybe try a face mask. :) Strawberries are supposed to be natural sources of salicylic acid, which helps fight acne. Just smash some strawberries, and rub them on your face and let it sit for 15 min. (If you wear makeup) Try to find makeup with salicylic acid in it or one that's oil free. You should also use oil free face wash. I know I break out mostly on my cheeks and I use Neosporin on my acne and it helps most times. I hope this helps! Remember, love your face and don't abuse it by using too many facial products! If you over do it, it may irritate your skin/acne some more!

Things to do with lace?

you can grab a plain shirt and add lace ruffles to the bottom, sleeve, or around the neckline! Perhaps you can make lace flowers as well. :)

Plushie pattern- HELP!
Started almost 2 years ago · Last post almost 2 years ago ·
you could try to think of it as a cylinder. Cut the material into a rectangular shape and a circle. I don't know if that made any sense. .____.
