We’re issuing another challenge—and that means FUN for creative crafters! This second entry in the popular new Craft Challenge series shines a spotlight on the humble but beloved tea towel, with its terrific graphics and nostalgic charm. More than two dozen projects show how to transform this functional item into fabulous wearables (slippers, a halter top), accessories (totes, a belt), and beyond (a doggie backpack, bicycle saddlebags). A basics section provides a primer on the techniques and how-to illustrations and templates enhance the instructions. Fresh, contemporary photography captures the projects in urban settings.
Everyone agrees I make a mean quiche. People consistently seem to think I'm athletic and health-conscious, when in reality I'm neither. I despise the taste of fish. The weirdest thing I've eaten---to the American palette, at least---is kangaroo (delish!). Morocco and Vietnam top my list of place I'd like to visit. I adore roller coasters, but am always terrified before my first trip down one---just the anticipation of that heart-stopping pull up the first hill, chains clanking away in a sickening fashion---aagh, I'm trapped! Why did I choose to go on this ride?! The cars will jump the track and I'll be turned to burger!---makes my knees go weak.
I think dozing off in bed with a book on a rainy afternoon is about the most pleasant activity there is.
