The simple knit lace pattern on this scarf resembles the cat footprints that you see on your car windshield every once in a while...that's how this scarf got it's name!  This fun knitting project creates a 48" scarf, and you can find the pattern here:

Since I started designing jewelry and craft tutorials, I have started to accumulate way too many finished 'models'.  Just simply selling them doesn't seem 'fun' enough.  I have now discovered www.swapitgreen.com, where I have listed a few items to trade.  There is no money involved, you just earn points by listing your own swap items, and then you can purchase items with the points you earn.  Shipping is paid by the seller, and as a seller, you pay for shipping to the customer (the site feels that you will eventually be even by both selling and buying; true!)  This pair of earrings are some of the items I have listed:

I just received my six pendants from shesthatgirl at Etsy; I can't say enough good things about them; they are whimsical, cute, adorable, and beautiful, and the quality is outstanding.  Her shop offers a wealth of great jewelry and gifts!

Now available at  http://stores.lulu.com/busycrowstudio  Stitch up a sunny little seahorse in shades of orange, and he will make a cute amulet or mini-wall hanging.  This even count peyote beading chart includes the full color chart and the word chart to make a 1-3/4" x 3" design with Delica beads.

If you are the crafty type, names like Tiffany and Zales don't impress you; you'd rather make it yourself anyway. Have fun making a Cool Coils Ring, it's easy and comfortable to wear! The tutorial is available at http://stores.lulu.com/busycrowstudio
