How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I joined so long ago, I can't even remember how I found the site! I was probably surfing around looking for a tutorial on something and found CO+K, fell in love with the site, and immediately became a member :) I want to say that I was looking for ideas of how to refashion old t-shirts, I've been doing projects like that for years.
What projects are you currently working on?
I just finished having a huge Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland-themed costume party for my 30th birthday. I made a lot of stuff for that party, including a Sharpie-colored Treat Stand, a Mushroom cake, several mini top hats, photo booth props, Alice's Um dress, and several other projects. Now that that's over, I'm working on spring cleaning and hopefully getting some mini top hats made- I've been thinking of some ideas that I hope will be great!

Create a jungle themed party in #DIYTheParty with Helen W.
The weather is cold and grey at the moment so I wanted to create a party that would help transport us to more tropical climes. I decided a jungle themed party would be perfect. I'd invite my guests to create their own animal masks or maybe some funky animal print jewellery or a headdress. I'd set the scene with plants, fairy lights and wind chimes to help transport us into a another world inspired by far away lands. Of course, we'd need some snacks and who could resist guacamole or maybe some fruit pizza all washed down with some exotic punch or a super green smoothie for the drivers.

Come behind the scenes at SeamstressErin Designs for a #CraftRoomTour and see Erin's sewing studio and office in Vashon, Washington.
I'm very proud of my huge cutting table. I built it myself as my first big woodworking project. It's got tons of great storage, it's super sturdy, and it makes cutting fabric for sewing projects quite pleasant!

Create a head-to-toe boho look in #DIYTheLook with Lindsey from Make it Lucky.
Baby, it’s cold outside, so ditch the SAD by planning your next fun summer look with Cut Out + Keep’s Boho side. I absolutely love the bright and bubbly style Mark Montano brings to the table with the totally fun bag and bangles. Pair LushtoBlush’s beachy, care-free waves with this airy crochet beanie I designed last summer and don’t forget to finish off a strand with one of Nina ntonti’s feather ties…so adorbs. Let’s keep the make-up simple with all this color going on - McKenzie @ Girl Loves Glam has your back there. I’m a sucker for up-cycled clothing, which is what I love about Confessions of a Refashionista’s tutorial for this cute top and Paprika patterns’ hemming tutorial that will help you jazz up your ultimate maxi skirt. Then don’t forget to accessorize: the breezy mod for flip flops by Pavlov, the alluring little ear-climber by Anne Jenamae, and that bangin’ boho DIY ring by Nikki B. …all you need to do now is plan your beachy island getaway!
