If you're still on a pumpkin kick, give these cookies a try! These are by far my favorite pumpkin cookies and have (in my opinion) the perfect texture. </div>

Continuing with the copper trend is this lovely necklace! To make this, all you need is soft copper tubing (found in the plumbing section of a hardware store), cord - in this case I used a mint colored leather cord. Cut the desired length of tubing off with a small pipe cutter, curve into an arc and smooth down the edges. I went with an angled end on my piece. Then string it on to the cord and it's done!<br />

I have recently become obsessed with incorporating copper into my decor and jewelry. I just love with warm tone of the metal and it's quite easy to work with. I've been collecting all kinds of <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/adamsela/copper/" target="_blank">inspiration here</a>. This coffee table is one of my favorite DIYs to date. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out and it's such a great addition to my space. I was so excited during the making of the table that I failed to get good photos of the process, but never fear! Check out <a href="http://forme-foryou.com/2014/02/diy-copper-coffee-table.html" target="_blank">this post</a> to get all of the details on how to make this lovely, customizable piece of furniture. </div>

These little wooden looms are basically the sturdier version of the cardboard loom I previously made (check out <a href="http://knackandwhimsy.blogspot.com/2014/05/w-e-v-i-n-g-c-r-d-b-o-r-d-l-o-o-m.html" target="_blank">this post</a> and <a href="http://knackandwhimsy.blogspot.com/2014/05/w-e-v-i-n-g-b-e-g-i-n-n-e-r-t-e-c-h-n-i.html" target="_blank">this post</a> to see how to use this loom). To make these, we used some inexpensive 1/4" thick craft wood and some scrap wood that was just lying around. Measure out and place marks on each end approximately 3/10" apart and cut the marks with a scroll saw, sand and your little loom is ready to use! Mine are approximately, 6"x7" and 3"x12", but you can make them any size you want. I like the smaller size as it is easy to work and travel with. Coming up in a future post I'll share the first two little weavings I made with these! </div>

If you've never made avocado pudding before, you have to give it a try! I'll admit I was skeptical that this would be good - I'm pretty picky when it comes to pudding - but this stuff was great! Definitely something I will be making again. <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2014/04/non-dairy-chocolate-pudding.html" target="_blank">I followed this recipe.</a> The only change I made was to use regular sugar and sweetened cocoa powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!</div>

Let's weave! For details on how to make the loom, check out <a href="http://www.knackandwhimsy.blogspot.com/2014/05/w-e-v-i-n-g-c-r-d-b-o-r-d-l-o-o-m.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. Once you have the warp in place, choose your first color and begin as shown below. Leave a bit of a tail when you start so you can secure the yarn later. Continue weaving back and forth until you get the desired amount of rows making sure to push down the yarn as you go and don't pull too tight! I like to use a large blunt needle to guide my yarn through the warp. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you start your second row of rya start with the second string of warp so your rya will alternate position. Continue this pattern of alternation until you have reached the desired amount and continue weaving as usual.</div>

This spring I've been working hard at keeping a mini herb garden alive on my windowsill (basil, you're so frustrating!). Despite the struggle, it's really nice to have a few fresh herb options sitting around and this mint & lemon balm tea is one of my favorite uses for my herbs (they are also much easier to take care of than my basil plant). To make: tear up a handful of mint leaves and lemon balm leaves (about 10-ish leaves each depending on size) and pour over 32oz of boiling water. I let my tea steep for about an hour (or longer, if I forget) and then place it in the fridge once it has cooled down. This tea is so refreshing and is a great way to get in some extra water. I also find the mint and lemon balm combo to be quite soothing on the stomach. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!</div>

Like I mentioned in my <a href="http://www.knackandwhimsy.blogspot.com/2014/05/w-e-v-i-n-g-i-n-s-p-i-r-t-i-o-n.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>, I've recently become obsessed with weaving! I will soon be making some wooden looms, but I got antsy and decided to make a simple cardboard loom to practice with. All you need to make this loom is a sturdy piece of cardboard, packing tape and scissors. I cut down the lid of a cardboard box (approximately 5x7") that I had sitting around and then wrapped a piece of packing tape over the shorter ends - this helps to reinforce the cardboard once it is cut. Using scissors (or an X-acto knife) make half inch deep cuts in the shorter ends of the cardboard. I made 10 cuts total on one end and then lined up my cuts with the other end. And that's it! You have a loom! To add the warp, I used cotton yarn and wrapped it around the loom from one end to the other just making sure to keep it taught and secure the ends. It's best to use a tougher fiber for the warp, so cotton yarn and bakers twine are a good choice. Stay tuned for a post showing how to use this little loom! </div>

My newest crafting obsession is weaving! I just love how simple it is to combine various yarn textures and colors and turn it into a piece of art. I'm crushing hard on the work of <a href="http://maryannemoodie.com/" target="_blank">Maryanne Moody</a>, as well as on the other lovely woven textile pieces floating around the<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/adamsela/textile-weaving/" target="_blank"> Pinterest</a> world. As an added bonus - weaving is a great way to use up leftover yarn from my crochet stash. Stay tuned for some posts on how to DIY a few simple looms and learn some beginner weaving techniques. I'm super excited to learn more about this beautiful craft! </div>

It still hasn't hit me that I'm completely done with school, but I'm already enjoying the perks of not having any homework. On to the next step!</div>

It's time for me to get back to blogging! I've managed to survive my final semester of grad school (yay for graduating this weekend!) and I can't wait to have a bit more free time to devote to my hobbies. I mean, I've spent an entire year researching how arts participation is good for health, so I better get back to practicing what I preach!</div>

Posts have been getting pretty slow around here and the truth is I'm in a bit of a crafty lull. Thanks to class, work, and a looming thesis deadline, I'm finding less and less time and motivation to work on my hobbies. I've decided it's time to make sure I get around to some creative projects -- I mean I'm writing a thesis about how arts participation good for you -- I should probably heed my own advice! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to start with reading <a href="http://www.brika.com/creative" target="_blank">this lovely handbook</a> to boost my inspiration :) </div>

Here are some photos from a project my dad and I completed recently! We made these silver earrings after I got some inspiration from the jewelry posted in the lovely shop by <a href="http://www.mooreaseal.com/" target="_blank">Moorea Seal </a>. This was another one of those "I bet we can make that" project inspirations and I'm so happy with how they turned out! They have quickly become one of my favorite pairs of earrings.</div>

Make these beaded keychains to add some decoration to your keys, purse or backpacks! Paint wooden beads however you like (I used 1" and 3/4" beads) and finish with a clear coat (mod podge works well). Take a length of leather cord and thread through a large lobster claw clasp or keyring and knot. Thread on the beads and knot again. Now just find something to clip them to!<br />
Happy crafting!</div>

If you haven't already put up your 2014 calendar, give this simple DIY a try! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the inspiration from this <a href="http://www.nalleshouse.com/2014/01/diy-wood-veneer-calendar-free-printable.html" target="_blank">lovely blog</a> post and downloaded the <a href="http://apairandasparediy.com/2014/01/printable-2014-calendar.html" target="_blank">calendar here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, all you need to do is find a piece of wood veneer, print a calendar to an appropriate size - so the veneer makes a nice frame, and then attach the calendar to the veneer with washi tape. Punch or drill a hole at the top and thread some twine to hang! I think this adds a nice extra touch to a simple calendar and you can change the color of the washi tape each month.</div>
