We are in the middle of summer with a lot of free time on our hands, so it’s time to take another look at classic camp crafts. Nothing reminds me more of being a kid and summer than making friendship bracelets, so let’s get some embroidery floss and get moving. Last year I wrote a…
Chainmaille Box Chain and Trapped Bead Chain
Today I want to talk about two new chains. I’ve previously posted about the 4 in 1 and the 6 in 1 chain that is posted here. With those under our belts it’s time to move on to the box chain and a trapped bead chain. Just like the first two chains, these go hand…
Anomia X
Anomia X is a for 3 to 6 players, this version is for the older crowd, 18 and up. Last year I wrote about the regular version of Anomia. This version plays the same so you can read that post, linked here for the rules. The only difference between the original version and this one…

My First Attempt at Paper Quilling
The internet is full of all sorts of craft ideas I have never seen before. I found a bunch of really amazing paper quilling projects that inspired me to try making one of my own. After doing some research, the greatest thing about paper quilling is the cost. It’s a great looking craft that’s really…
Slapagories
I have a very soft spot for quick games and with good reason, they are easy to get people interested, the set up is fast and its takes nothing to explain the rules to get started. Scattegories is a great classic, but sometimes you want something a bit lighter, faster and with a tiny bit…
