Now that you’ve made jars upon jars of tasty jam, you may want to dress some up to give away to friends and family as gifts, and you’ll definitely want to label them so you’ll know whether you’re opening a jar of strawberry jam or raspberry jam.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been busy launching my newest venture, Craftig, a social bookmarking website specifically for crafters. You can sign up for a free account at Craftig and, in minutes, be ready to start submitting links to your favorite crafty tutorials and how tos!

I was inspired to start Craftig when I realized that there was no way, even with all of the craft blogs that I follow, to possibly see everything that was going on in the online craft world. It was sad for me to think that I was missing so many wonderfully creative projects, and I thought that it would be a good idea to create a site where anyone who creates or has an interest in crafts could go to submit and share their own crafts or their favorites from around the web.

I’m excited about this new project and am so thankful to everyone who has signed up, contributed, and been so supportive of Craftig, and I’m loving all of the different crafts that everyone has posted so far! In addition to the main site, I’ll be tweeting about all things craft @craftig, and I’ll be posting a Craft of the Day every weekday on the Craftig blog and on the Craftig Facebook group, where I hope to get some good crafty discussions going, too.

Easter is upon us, and I always love to see the creative ideas that people have  for decorating Easter eggs. This year, I’ve added my own egg craft to the mix: sparkly polka dotted Easter eggs.

I want to say a big thank you to all of the bloggers and individuals who have given a mention to the crafts that I’ve featured at Domestifluff over the past few months! I’m so flattered that people are enjoying the pom pom flowers and retro utensil stencils, and I hope to have many more crafts for you in the coming weeks and months.

Jenna from the blog CorgiPants was nice enough to send along a photo of her version of the retro kitchen print (looks great, Jenna!):

If you have tried or do try any of the crafts featured here, I’d love to see the results, so feel free to send me an email with pics of your creations!

Screen printing is something that I’ve wanted to learn for years, and I’ve finally gotten up the nerve to take my first little steps. I wanted to start slowly, using a stencil and sponge to create my print, instead of jumping ahead immediately and burning screens and all of that.

B asked for chocolate bark for Christmas, but he specifically said that he wanted cashews and not almonds or peppermint. Unfortunately, or fortunately if they happen to be your favorites, almond bark and peppermint bark have edged out all other barks for shelf space in the chocolate bark section of the store. In other words, I couldn’t find cashew bark in any of my regular haunts.
