A group of ladybugs is called a loveliness of ladybugs! I made these cuties for a games afternoon last weekend. Super easy to do with Mini Babybel cheese and olives. I made the dots by slicing olives in half, then halving the thickness, then pushing a straw through. They turned out really cute!

Surfing on the feel of the last post, a few months ago I had an abundance of Chucks on my hands. My beloved blue-black two tones finally bit the dust, and I had to say goodbye. I felt a pang of guilt as I was chucking them (heh), so I thought: “what can I make with these?” Turns out I can make 2″ magnets, pin back buttons, and laceable wings for my sneakers. Neat.
