I used to cut and dye my hair quite a bit - it used to be in a long layered bob of various colors(without bangs), then I cut it into an orange chelsea-hawk- but now it has grown out and I'm bored with it again. I don't want to do anything too drastic since I'm looking for a...

As kids, my siblings & I had these colorful stocking caps that were wild and long (knee-to-calf length!). I'm a fairly advanced knitter, but haven't found anything more than basic striped stocking cap patterns. Most are for adults, and none are nearly long enough. I know I can...

I've just started loom knitting, I've made a hat and a scarf so far, and I'm looking for new techniques and patterns online. I was just wondering if anyone on here uses looms? Do you guys have any patterns yourself, or know any links?

Royal Ascot is tightening up its dress code to raise standards and fake-tan lines are among the "style crimes" to come under scrutiny. Can bottled tan ever be sophisticated? Fake is a nasty word. And the fake tan is a much-derided concept. Brands for the most part avoid the...

I'd hate to admit this, but my boyfriend has a wicked racist streak once and a while (he's trying to get over it, honestly, but he grew up with REALLY bad racist parents, and grandparnets) but, i thought a good way to help him get over it, is through his stomach. he loved...

I am considering re-decorating my own bedroom. Thing is I have no idea where I to start. I think I will stick with painting the walls and go from there i.e. paint my own patterns and such. I also want to make as much of it as possible to save money and because i really enjoy...

I keep my gargoyle figurines, candles and spooky trinkets out all year round, so I'm just going to get some pumpkins for the porch and batteries for my "rappin' vampire" toy. Maybe set up a cauldron and a fog machine on the porch, too.

My walls are sooo boring but we cant us anything that might harm the walls, and well, i cant figure out anything that might go up without wrecking them. i love this house and dont want to risk a ruin.

Alright, so I was talking to a few other craftsters, and we ALL have that one, favorite, young child craft that we still have. Mine is a mask. In art class, there was an activity afterschool we could all do, and that was plastering our face to make a mask so I did, and then...
