Seam ripper (optional)

Decorate your dirt.
By DIY Maven
Martha has a tip on decorating the dirt of your indoor plants with pebbles. Of course Martha couldn’t just dump the rocks on top like I do; no, she has to arrange them in concentric circles. I must admit, the effect looks pretty cool. I bow to the master.
Crafty Invites
By NCavillones
I was inspired by a project in the January issue of Martha Stewart Living to make my own invitations for a friend's baby shower. The original project was for a New Year's Eve party, so instead of doing a champagne glass, I did heart cut-outs.

make your own crystal snowflake
By ckilgore
How do y'all feel about the big momma of craft ladies, Martha Stewart? I know, for some reason, I shouldn't like hr, but dammit, some of the stuff she (or her staff) come up with is so cute. And it really made me sad that they quit publishing Martha Stewart Kids, because that was the best mag in the whole line of publications. All the activities, the graphics ... it was just yummy.
What was I talking about? Oh yeah ... crystal snowflakes. I saw th » READ MORE
