Beadalicious Cover Yeah! It's finally here! Check out the front, back, and spine of this bad boy!
Frosted Heart Mirror What better way to show your love than framing their face in a cloud of hearts and cupids! This mirror is a quick and easy project where your sweetheart will be reminded of your love every time they look in the mirror.
Circle Canopy A good way to recycle an old leather skirt and cardboard!
Stone Tile Coasters What better gift than something that is useful as it is enduring.
Record Clocks Love your old LPs but don't know what to do with them?
Floral Hatbox A bouquet of roses that will last forever.
Bohemian Celebration Magical swags of fabric and sparkling beads gleaming candlelight finish off the aura for an enchanted evening with good friends.
Collage Placemats A great way to ease friends into dinner (especially if there are new faces at the table) are personalized collage placemats where people sit down to a good laugh.
Mosaic Mirror A great project that uses all the dishes you don't.
Jeweled Dresser Using beads, glitter, old trinkets, buttons and plastic toys, create a one of a kind dresser for all your storage needs.
Ribbon Shoe Clips I remember my grandmother used to love to wear shoe clips for a little flair in the foot department. They aren't very common anymore but I, personally, would love to see them come back and love wearing mine around.

September 5, 2007 Just for the Frill of It Reviewed In CRAFT: Magazine Craft: magazine says about "Just for the Frill of It": The word Frill had me worried that this book might be too froufrou for my taste, but au contraire- Nimr's style is lacy in a vintage punk kind of way. Her user friendly projects show how to chop and sew old tops into fresh and funky new duds. My favorite: a Vivienne Westwood-style cardigan made from an old V-neck sweater and a plaid skirt. A must read before heading for the Goodwill.
