Make This: DIY Beaded Easter Eggs with Mod Podge and Seed Beads
I love using Mod Podge to glue seed beads. It is so easy and the results are stunning. I like to use the thicker formulas...like Brushstroke or Outdoor but the other formulas will work you just need to add more Podge!
Please visit our project page at Plaid for the complete instructions. Our project page is here!
Watch the Video below to see how we made them!

Dear Diary, A few bumps, bruises and rip-offs are not going to get me down.
A few bumps, bruises and rip-offs are not going to flipping stop me. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. It has been a really hard couple of weeks. Really hard....and even though I have cried my eyes out and pounded my fist over the past few weeks.....I am so grateful for my guardian angels and the support of the art & craft community. I truly feel blessed to be in this industry and will continue my efforts with joy, pride and piss & vinegar!

Dear Diary, Gussie (Gussy) Moran it was fun knowing you.
Gorgeous Gussie Moran
Gertrude Moran (Gussy)
Sept 8, 1923 - Jan 16, 2013
A few days ago the world lost a Tennis great, fashion dare devil and someone who I would call an eccentric with a heart of gold. Steve and I, were lucky enough to meet her and have her visit us once a week at our shop in Hollywood. She was a treasure to us and we were to her. We brought a little sunshine to her block. A block that was a far cry from where she grew up in Santa Monica with an ocean view.

How to Sew a Baby Sleep Sac : McCalls Pattern 4236
When I spotted this fabric at Jo-Ann Fabrics, I flipped out and fell in love with it! I wanted to make something for my new little nephew and with the cold months ahead of us I thought a sleep sac would be perfect. He loves it, his momma loves it and his daddy does too! Next time, I would make the neck a little bigger for more room to grow. Other than that it was a simple and quick project to make.

Our New Product Line: Mod Melts for Mod Podge! DIY your own embellishments!
Mod Melts for Mod Podge! DIY your own embellishments!
Steve and I are thrilled to share with you one of our new products for Mod Podge. Mod Melts!
We have many wonderful new craft items that are coming to retailers this spring and one product we are so proud of is our new line of Mod Melts and Molds.
With our new sea glass and milk glass Mod Melt Sticks and Molds you can now make your own scrapbooking, mixed media and jewelry making embellishments.
You can customize Mod Melts with a variety of finishes! You can use FolkArt acrylic paints, shimmer mists, alcohol inks, glitter, nail polish, metallic paints, pearl paint and even embossing powders.
Available Mid-May 2013 at Michaels USA and Canada!
How They WORK!
1. Select a Mod Melt Mold.
(We have four different molds available.)
2. Select a Mod Melt Stick.
We have two styles available that were specially formulated for creating durable embellishments. Sea Glass is the clear stick and this creates a beach glass look. Milk Glass is the white stick and it creates a look of vintage milk glass. Cooled Mod Melts can be altered with a variety of finishes. You can use FolkArt acrylic paints, shimmer mists, alcohol inks, glitter, nail polish, metallic paints, pearl paint and even embossing powders on either stick.
3. Heat the Mod Melt stick in a HIGH temp hot glue gun.
(we like to use a long nozzle hot glue gun)
Squeeze the HOT Mod Melt into the mold of your choice. Begin in the center and work your way around the edges.
4. Allow the Mod Melt to cool. About 3 min.
5. Pop out of the mold.
The Mod Melt will easily pop out of the mold and it will be ready for embellishing. (Milk Glass Mod Melt is featured in the photo)

(Sea Glass)
6. Embellish your Mod Melt with a variety of finishes!
You can use FolkArt acrylic paints, shimmer mists, alcohol inks, glitter, nail polish, metallic paints, pearl paint and even embossing powders. Attach to a project with appropriate glue for your project. You can use Mod Melt, hot glue, gem glue or tacky glue.

Dear Diary, BRING IT! We are so ready.
Pinch, pinch (just not my love handles)! We got some really fantastic news today and soon, Steve and I will be able to share all the scoop. Today started with a sobbing breakdown at my desk and ended with a high-5 and celebratory sushi lunch. I knew 2013 was gonna be a roller coaster, I just didn't know it was gonna happen today.
BRING IT! We are so ready.
Cathie
