A Boy, A Girl & A Pug just posted a cute Anthropologie-inspired tutorial for a ruffle curtain made out of 2 Twin flat sheets. She spent $8, and the panel looks fantastic. I was already planning on making a Ruffle curtain for Marin's room. Now I may have to think about using a sheet!

Mod Tree Stump Table-Rebekah, Potholes & Pantyhose

 Rebekah from Potholes & Pantyhose gave a guest tutorial on Tools Are for Women Too about making an awesome mod table.  Along time ago, I went on tour with a couple of bands, and now she's married to one of their members. Check out her site, it's well worth the visit.

Shutter Wine Glass Holder - Tools are for Women Too!

Tools Are For Women Too is a wealth of information. I just found a great post about wood finishes - that may really come in handy someday.  I also found a great tutorial for a wine glass holder using an old shutter. I really love this idea, and hope to try it sometime...although maybe on a slightly smaller scale. (I don't have that many wine glasses, lol)
