I really like 1, 6, 8 and 10. Now, you’ve made me want to try them too.:)
Amanda @ Mommy’s Idea Book’s last blog post..Not Getting Your Beauty Sleep?
I would like to try 2, 3, 7 and 9
Nice roundup! You totally have the twirly skirt making skills. I should check out the rag rug tutorial. I started making some things rag-rug style sans tutorial. It might help to see if I’m doing it right or if there are any good tips.
Madeline’s last blog post..All Tied Up: A Little Munchkin Tie Tutorial
Mastering Photoshop is a great skill to have. You can do so many cool things with that program.
Love this post.

I love the bacon!
I wish I could think of the tutorial sites I have happened upon. I will start writing them down! Personally, I can’t even sew a button on!
That is why I love handmade items. I value people’s talents.
Take care, Cindi
oooo thanks! i’ll have to check these out!
Ashley’s last blog post..i’m ready.
#1 looks pretty good, but I found this online a while back and tried it out – it’s quite easy and really does only take an afternoon

Let us know when you design your own template so we can see the result and get some tips.
I believe tutorials aren’t for the faint of heart. They just seem kind of tedious. I view them as necessary if you absolutely have to learn how to do something. Otherwise, wing it. ;) So I’m impressed you have so many on your wish list.
Damselfly’s last blog post..What I didn’t know about motherhood
i want to do the twirly skirt now too. and your candy sushi. and real sushi rolls via the pioneer woman. I have that starred (along w/the candy sushi, ha) in my reader for “some day”. :)
Jenn B’s last blog post..Kid Talk & Ramblings
forgot to mention that i used to think the whole felt food thing EXTREMELY strange. but now that my daughter is a tad bit older and getting more into pretend play, i ‘get’ it. she would LOVE felt food, if i were nice enough to make her some. …my son might play with it, but probably not much. he’s more into battles during his pretend play.

Hey girl, As soon as Daddy gets out of the hospital … and life gets back to “normal” (whatever that is) … I will join you on some of these tutorial adventures. I’ll even blog about them right along side you. What do you think?
Love,
Jodi
Oooo, I just did the camera strap thing that Balancing Everything did! I love love love how it turned out. Super easy too, you should try it.

jamie’s last blog post..TOS E-Book HomeWork – A Review
ahh that reminds me I need to figure out how to back up mine as well. everyone should, really. could you imagine if something went wrong and you lost all your posts? that would be awful! i’m gonna get to backing-up right now!
Very nice tutorials, I really like no 3, really great tips for photoshop.
Thanks
I’m loving many of the tutorials you posted links to.
On my to do list is:
Make more felt crowns for some friends (not a tutorial but my first attempt at making them)
http://me-lace.blogspot.com/2008/10/crowns-for-girls.html
Superhero capes
some unfinished crafts
and a few other things I can’t remember right at the moment.
Most of the tutorials I’m interested in revolve around kids crafts and activities, so I’ll have to wait a few years. Oh, and cloth diapers. I would love to learn how to sew cloth diapers.
Generally, I’m just interested in trying out recipes that I see online. I wish I had more time so that I could print out the hundreds of recipes I’ve bookmarked and try them all!
How seriously cool are THOSE? I, too have bookmarked a couple of them. Thanks for the head’s up!
Amber’s last blog post..A whole lotta mom blog nothings
Girl… its nice to catch up. It seems its been a while since my last sneak peak. The mountains are beautiful there. The picture made it seems so crisp, clean and cold. take care. BTW I intend to use your list as a cheat sheet. Happy Easter.
Hehe, wow, you made me hungry with that picture :D
I’ve made a few how-tos myself. This one is probably my favorite:

I like 6 7 and 8. Late drive by for a Happy Easter day to you and yours!
Go for it, I have tons of Photoshop tutorials I keep saving, just need to get myself around to trying a few!
Mik’s last blog post..Indiana Jones Grail Diary progress
I’ve wanted to do #5 since my second child (now nine) was an infant. Now here I am, three kids later, and I still haven’t! Maybe kid #5 will be the proud recipient of my belated butt sweater?
These are great tutorials–thanks for posting them!
Meagan Francis’s last blog post..a five-kid Easter
I’m dying to make Zoe a tutu. One of those where you just knot strips of tulle around and elastic? It looks so easy… I just can’t get myself to do it.
Colleen – a madison mom’s last blog post..Grace in Small Things – 40
