First I must apologize for missing last week's edition of Stickyfingers, as I was busy launching my new site InkSpotWorkshop.com.

I trust you all had a fabulously crafty week and are ready for a few new ideas that will hopefully inspire you to go make something! Below are a few projects that caught my attention this week on the web. As always, if you make something you found here on Stickyfingers, please share with me. Send photos to info@inkspotworkshop.com, I'd love to feature your finished project, here on The Spotter.

Finding it hard to keep it all together? How about this free, printable To Do List, designed by Stephanie Fizer? Just click here for the download. Thanks Moddish for this easy project.

For the true craftster looking for a bit of a challenge... here is a thorough tutorial on how to make a Linoleum Block Print. You can print your own wrapping paper, wall prints, stationery, the sky is the limit. Just click here. Thank you Lizzy House.

Nothing reminds me of summers as a kid in the 1970's as making Lanyard Keychains! We used to have arts and crafts at Clague Park in North Olmsted, Ohio and these were always a hit. I would spend hours perfectly weaving those little strips of leather into crazy square and corkscrew shapes. Oh, I can still smell that leather. Thank you Design*Sponge for the trip down memory lane.

Ready for a new read?

So... a couple weeks ago I was at the hair salon getting the "natural" blonde put back into my hair:) For those of you with this same medical condition, you know how long this procedure can take and how important a good selection of magazines can become, right? Well that's when I discovered ReadyMade.

Wow! a magazine geared towards hand made items and businesses, how great is that? Not only do they have instructions for some really cool and useful DIY projects, they feature editorials from some of your favorite bloggers, such as Grace (who was kind enough to send me the name of this magazine because I didn't get a chance to steal it from the salon) from Design Sponge, just to give you one example.

As the story ends.... I now have another subscription to a great magazine I will probably only get a chance to read when my leaning tower of magazines topples:)
