Yes, the clings are quite fun. I think it would be neat to put the Mod Podge glaze into a small baggie and pipe out a name, or a happy face, or a flower, or a few words, oh so many ideas, so little time. lol Amy, thanks for the kind words and stopping by.

Your reply here has me smiling from ear to ear. Maybe even a tear in my eye. Please keep doing what you are doing. You are one of those special folks who can inspire others. If you don't work with children and exploring art with them, I do hope you consider it. Maybe even classes for those of us who had our creativity tramped on by 'art teachers' who could neither do or teach. Too bad I'm not in San Antonio anymore otherwise I would offer to treat for lunch sometime. You are most welcome!

LOL What a sweet kind email from you. And then tooting my horn on your blog. You are too nice, but I'm taking every word to my heart. So glad you got what I was trying to say. Zendoodles can be art, or they can be just fun. No rules ever! Oh, and it's fun to do over text in an old retired book, or phone book. Napkins in resturants aren't safe either. LOL Both of your Zendoodles are perfect. I didn't see any goofs, so don't look for them. :) Perfection is what a machine is suppose to do. Not artists. We're suppose to give it a personality, a feeling to share, a giggle, or amazement. Whatever, but never perfection. That would be boring. Getting the outline of a butterfly is not cheating. You Mom made that butterfly hers. I do love that turtle. You did great. Don't be saying you can't draw. It's not true. The trick is, don't compare your's to someone else's. Copies are boring, and look like copies. Thank you again for you kind words, and for watching my crazy videos. Ethel, Herbert, and Sweetie think they're going to Hollywood any day now. LOL big hug!

]]> Comment on Vintage Baby Crochet Cap by Michele http://www.thecraftytipster.com/bean-stitch-cap.html#comment-776 Michele Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:15:07 +0000 http://www.thecraftytipster.com/?p=248#comment-776 I think it is such a pretty little cap. I've been a bit disappointed that no one has let me know if they've made one and how it turned out. No babies in the house so it would seem silly to make up one just to see if the pattern is easy to follow and how it turns out. If anyone does give it a go, please send photos, I'd love to see them.

]]> Comment on Easy Crochet Doily Pattern #2 by Michele http://www.thecraftytipster.com/easy-crochet-doily-2.html#comment-279 Michele Sat, 14 May 2011 22:06:15 +0000 http://www.thecraftytipster.com/?p=861#comment-279 You are most welcome. I've thought about putting together a book but that just seems so much more stressful than making a pattern available here and there that I've designed. As to the vintage crochet patterns, I love looking at the fashions and doilies of old. The irony is that so many of the garments made by knitters and crocheters are still fashionable after all of these years. Well, maybe with the possible exception of some of the unfortunate stuff designed the 1970s but that's not the time period included here on The Crafty Tipster anyway. You are most welcome.
