Wednesday Treat: Shabby Apple Giveaway

April 3, 2013 4 Comments

Shabby Apple Giveaway at HandsOccupied.com Coming back from a holiday weekend (or spring break for college students & moms out there), can be tough. This week, I wanted to brighten your hump day with a little giveaway from a fun clothes site, Shabby Apple. I’m a vintage clothing lover, and their vintage-inspired styles are really adorable. I looooove real vintage, but sometimes it’s hard to find looks that are in good shape or are in your size. Shabby Apple is a great resource for getting a new take on vintage looks.

    Oh my goodness. I have been stalking Shabby Apple for over a year now and love their stuff, but have yet to actually purchase anything. I just can’t decide! This would be the perfect excuse to take the Shabby Apple plunge. :)

For the first time in a long time, there’s a new For the first time in a long time, there’s a new tutorial from Hands Occupied! 🎉 The video is live on YouTube & the blog. 
.
The post covers what provisional cast ons are & how they differ, and the video covers how to work a one-step provisional cast on using scrap yarn and a crochet hook. (This is a great one to save for future reference.)
.
I learned several names for this method while researching this video & post. Crochet provisional cast on, one-step cast on, scrap yarn cast on - if you know even more names for this technique, please share!

Working on a sample for some upcoming videos. It’s an overcast day with intermittent sunshine & I have a scruffy little sidecar. 🐶 Can’t complain!

What’s on your needles this week?

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?

Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies, so getting a few hung in my new studio has been a priority. Here’s my first attempt. 🔨 
.
Details: This pegboard panel is for organizing my knitting needles, latch hook tools, sewing thread, etc. It doesn’t need to hold much weight, so I didn’t anchor this into a stud - just used basic drywall anchors. I’ve also got a set of two 2’x4’ panels for another spot in my studio, and those will need a stud/more than 3 drywall anchors. Wish me luck!

It’s time for the annual Hands Occupied new year It’s time for the annual Hands Occupied new year update, and for the first time in years, I feel like I have some clarity about what I’m doing next. ❤️ Head to the blog to read all about it, the 1ink is where you’d think.
