Downtown Dispatch: MADE's Mini-Forest Craft Night

Lately I’ve been noticing these cute indoor planters on various blogs and home décor websites. They are generally made from a glass, see-through jar or vase (lid included occasionally) with a mixture of peat moss, grass, rocks, and dirt placed nicely inside.

All right, it is time to ditch the late night snacks, grab water instead of a soda, and hit the gym everyday until the long awaited spring break.

Piece of Craft: Fun with Buttons

For crafters, buttons seem to be the one craft accessory that are continuously ubiquitous.I have an entire collection of buttons just hanging around, so I know how hard it can be to find uses for them.Most people can usually find a project that uses a button here or there, but never in mass quantities, so they never know what to do with their excess buttons.I find that buttons are the perfect item to use when making jewelry.

Non-Required Reading: What Boom Studio Is Missing

Hey! Remember the guy in the picture? Well if you do, then we can be friends. If you don’t, just move along… Last time (link), I told you how Boom Studios was pulling all of your favorite '90s ridiculousness and making them into comics. Well, they’ve just been getting started, so there’s still so much more for them to do. For some reason, my warped mind immediately wants a Bonkers comic book.
