This week we answer a viewer question and show you how to make a rain poncho out of an old shower curtain. Plus, a visit to Bust's Spring Fling Craftacular and a sweet forum review. Spring showers bring DIY flowers!
Although the weather here in Portland doesn't feel quite like Spring yet, the flowers blooming on the trees have got me thinking about spring-ifying my wardrobe a bit. Cardigans are a must for this time of year, and with my small collection of thrift store sweaters purchased for refashioning, I started a web hunt for pullover-to-cardigan conversion project ideas. Well, the quest was indeed a success! As was my attempt at creating one of my own! Woo! Here are some of my favorite versions by online...

Whether...
Spring is almost here and you know what that means...SPRING CLEANING time! Meg is going to show us how-to turn an old cabinet into a organizational wonder. Slate paint is soooo cool!
No matter how low the temperature outside, I just can't stop looking ahead to Spring (I work in retail - you really can't blame me), and I've been thinking a lot lately about the upcoming season's hats. While I'm definitely excited that fedoras aren't going anywhere (though you couldn't have ripped last summer's straw version away from me if you'd tried), I've lately found myself building future outfits around a floppy, wide-brimmed, 70s-inspired topper.
