I found the spoon and more holder cute, too ;-)

Vintage Eggcup Pincushions
I found this vintage eggcup pincushion so absurd, that I absolutely wanted to present it ;-))

Recycling Bird Feeder
I’m a city kid and don’t have the slightest idea on when to present such an entry, but the original entry has been published around the same time of year ;-))

Google translation of the article
Note: In the orange text Google translates the text as follows: ”…, and ruckzuck was the bird food in the house.”, but the bird food fall underneath the (bird) house ;-)
Pot Holder Eyeglass Case
I like this idea, too: fold a potholder, sew together and embellish and you’ll have a padded eyeglass case.
However, if I think about a previous ‘very simple’ sewing project I’m sceptical whether I will be able to make it so easily ;-))

Sweater Turban
Well, I find the turban a simple yet elegant solution about what to do with an old cozy sweater ;-)

Toilet Paper Tube as Window Stopper
That’s no big deal, but helpful ;-):
To prevent our windows from slamming shut, we latterly fold two toilet paper tubes and squeeze them under the frame.
They have the advantage of not being too rigid and so not break the frame, but they are (although not beautiful) functional ;-))
Tea Lights
Recently you have collected tea cups for a bracelet, now you can make a lamp from your cups ;-)

Beaded Stars on CDs
Somehow I liked the beaded stars on CDs very well, even though I usually don’t like crafting with CDs very much ;-)
I liked especially the beaded stars on CDs that are used on the main site as candle holders.

Glass-in-Glass Votive
The tutorial is now unfortunately only to be find in webarchive (without photos), but I found the idea so good that I wanted to present it here anyhow.
I think that it should work as well with taping thin paper on the glass instead of frosting it.
Nice, isn’t it?
