Song written by Bryan Lucas

Can you hear me now?Jump on this site, you will get promoted, promoted by the end of the night.
Can you hear me now?
I know you got dreams in your head so let them, let them be free instead.

I have a little change in my pocket, going jingle jingle jang/I want you to sign up so your dreams can go sky rocket/and you can feel the same.We at ROI are just not your average guys/we take your dreams and put them high in the air.
We at ROI always care/when you need us the most we will always be there.

There once was a man from Nantucket/that wanted to put every dime he had in his bucket/he didn't know how to design or write a rhyme/so he immediately got ROI on the line/and his dreams went shy high.We at ROI took his business by the hand/ promoted his site by the end of the night
That night he slept tight.

Can you hear me now?
Jump on this site, you will get promoted, promoted by the end of the night.
Can you hear me now?

I know you got dreams in your head so let them, let them be free instead.

"How Do I Craft?"

   A few years ago, George Thorogood did a version of an old Bo Diddley song called "Who Do You Love."  Here's a different version of the song. This is about a guy who wants to learn to do crafts, but isn't very good at it. Maybe George will sing this one day, if he ever learns to sew. Here's the Thorogood version, just to remind you.

I sewed plastic lace on a key chain,
Put a square-beaded bracelet on my door frame,
Glued zipper pulls to the sink drain
on the pink doll house down the lane.

I got a brand new canvas needle, vinyl weave,
But I don't know what to do 
with my worsted yarn, please mend my heart
I'll come on home to you.

How do I craft?
How do I craft?
How do I craft?
How do I craft?

I got a Kleenex box with an outboard motor
Magnets on my helicopter rotor.

How do I craft?
How do I craft?
How do I craft?
How do I craft?

I transformed my tissue box
Learning crafts from Lisa Cox.

How do I craft?
How do I craft?
How do I craft?
How do I craft?

Lisa put bread in my toaster
Showed me how to knit a coaster.

How do I craft?

Plastic Lace

this is a more complicated project



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

   




 This is  a craft of many names





 




 

* Gimp * plastic craft *lanyard

             * Rexlace *Boondoggle  *Scoubidou   





                                                                                            

This is an inexpensive way to venture with the crafty individual. It is made of a very flexible plastic, which can be fun, but yet tricky to work with.


This is another fun craft to enjoy by yourself or involve the older kids. I enjoyed doing this craft with my daycare.

Here would be a fun project for the pre teen/teen to do at a slumber party, or even just to make some with a couple of friends.

        They could even add some beads, or charms to make this bracelet even more noticeable.


If you dont like the bracelet idea, how about zipper pulls for the younger children who  have not quit mastered grabbing that little piece of metal !!

  Need something for those loose keys ? Try a plastic yarn key ring holder.

                                                
 How about something for their backpack

 

 I would love to see your project/projects you have made, attach them with a comment !Till next time, happy crafting :)

Just A Thought

Welcome Back, Friends

   Let me start by saying, I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday!!

   I had a wonderful day with my family!!!! We had a delicious dinner and then my 6 yr old grandson had so much fun hunting his eggs. I can't wait till next year, when my other grandson is old enough to par take in the hunt!!!

Any Hoot :)

   Regarding the response to my last post, again another great question, THANK YOU!   No, I have never attempted to try a large plastic canvas project, myself. I have always done the smaller projects, like the photo frames, magnets, and Kleenex covers.
    However, I am sure that you could find the pattern of your liking at your local hobby shop, or I might even suggest checking www.ebay.com, which also offers some plastic canvas patterns for sale.

AWE

    Maybe, that might be something I consider trying myself, now that I have more time since the kids are grown, lol who knows :) I like trying new things myself.
Here are a couple other sites you might find useful:
http://www.anniescatalog.com
http://craftstew.com/needlepoint/125free-plastic-canvas-patterns

I can not wait to see what project you choose , I know you will enjoy the moment of glory :) Best of Luck !!!!

JUST A THOUGHT

   Who thinks starting a craft pattern and/or recipe swap would be a great idea?   Maybe, if I get enough people interested I might consider possibly starting something like this. I think something like this would be fun and adventurous. It would be like giving a gift every day, week, or month. I LOVE GIVING! Do you?
   If this sounds like something that you might be interested in, let me know in the comment section!!!!! Maybe, you just have a topic you would like for me to touch on, I would love to hear any and all suggestions, so please don't forget to leave me a comment. 

I LOVE YOUR QUESTIONS!

I received a great question today regarding the length of time it takes to complete a plastic canvas needle craft project, thanks for the question, it was

a great question to ask ! 

   The answer to your question is that a plastic canvas project can be completed in a matter of a few hours or take as long as a few days or even as long as a few weeks. Depending on what you choose as your project. 

    For example: A book mark, picture frame, or Kleenex tissue cover would not be as time consuming as what making a plastic canvas doll house would be. Picture frames or Kleenex tissue covers are awesome gift ideas, and require little time, unless you choose to really embellish them, which would require a little more time :) 

   Please by all means keep your questions coming , I Love the interaction. I started this this site to help others with crafting adventures, regardless if your new to crafting or have been crafting for years. 

Till next time, happy crafting ! 

Sincerely, 

Lisa Cox

Canvas Needle Crafting--Also known as Vinyl Weave

   

Hello & Welcome to FRIEND2FRIENDCREATIONS BLOG.

   All comments and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. 

   Today we're going to talk about Canvas Needle Crafting--which is also known by many as Vinyl Weave.

   Plastic canvas is a materiel of lightweight plastic with regular spaced holes.

   There are a variety of colors and pre-cuts shapes available to do this craft. The standard or most common size of sheet is 10 1/2 X 13 1/2, however, it is also available in what they call A4 size sheets which are used for bigger projects.

   The most commonly used size is 7 mesh, ( 7 holes per inch) which is also the size most beginners start out with. However, some patterns call for a specific size, so always refer to pattern before making your purchase.

Supplies also needed to do this craft are:
* worsted yarn ( I have found 4 ply to be the best) 
* small pair of scissors ( I also keep a small pair of nail clippers handy)
* #16 tapestry needle
* beads or embellishments (keep in mind that all patterns call for embellishments)
* laundry marker or dry erase marker ( I have found these to be handy to draw an outline of a pattern before cutting it out)

To familiarize you with some of the common, but, not limited to stitches used: * Continental
* Alternating Continental
* Scotch
* Long
* Cross
* Over cast/ whip 

    Plastic canvas needle crafting can be done for a variety of projects. Many utilize the craft as a hobby that can be used for gifts. It should be noted that many have used this particular craft as a means for raising money for charity, or even extra cash flow. In today's economy, the DIY and hobby market is large due to looming gas prices and the need to express oneself. Furthermore, plastic canvas is easy for our little ones to manipulate with their own creative dexterity. Any mom or grandma can tell you how rewarding that can be!

   Another great thing about working with plastic canvas is that it is only limited by your own imagination...and even if you feel your imagination is running on empty, we can make it easy for you by providing you with patterns and plans for great projects that will be loved by all. For instance, we can help you make beautiful and impressive:

* tissue box covers
* coasters w/ holders
* picture frames
* magnets

   I hope you enjoyed your visit to Friends2FriendCreation and found it to be of interest. Please don't forget to sign the guest book, comments are appreciated.

   I will continue to provide you with updates and new craft ideas as time marches on! Please check in again soon for ideas to fill your spring and summer. Until then, Happy Crafting!
