free pattern: fuzzballs!

Fuzzballs are the ultimate in easy and cute crochet, and a perfect way to use up any scraps of fun fur, eyelash or any other fuzzy yarn you may have on hand. These tiny amigurumi are crocheted in fuzzy yarn and come in two sizes: Fuzzball and Fuzzball Mini. Let your imagination run wild as […]

business card holder v1

May 18, 2007 @ 11:23 pm · Filed under: Sewing

This is just a quick prototype I made last night. It’s a bit uneven and a little smaller than I’d like (the finished holder only just holds 4 business cards). But I am pleased with the basic concept – I’ll add “make a proper business card holder” to my endless list of craft ideas!
