New periodical, Mollie Makes

I had heard some chat on some other blogs about this and when I walked into my Joann's last week, it was front and center on the racks. I glanced through it and decided to pick it up because it was 30% off. With a modern take on crafting and needlework, it has defined some interesting takes on today's styles and trends. Some were a little odd, if I must say so myself. I don't think I am a trendsetter by any stretch, but this one leaves me at the starting line.

a little bonus, a felt kit for your I-phone, I can see some teens really liking this

apples with sweaters?

a little collection of crochet pot-holders

crochet bicycle fenders? really?

nice templates

collarettes

collection of linen embroidered eggs

Summary:

• I'm glad I did not pay full price for this, $11.99!
• I will not likely buy another one unless there is something really special within.
• Who has the time to knit/crochet little sweaters for their fruit? I know I sure don't!
• crocheted fenders for your bicycle? On our trails there would be sand, sticks and miscellaneous weeds stuck in those babies after about a half mile! I don't even want to thing about them getting wet, stretching and getting caught in the spokes. 
• the collarettes are cute, young, stylish. None of those adjectives describes me. 
• I like the little linen eggs, the only item I will likely make.

This is a magazine that will appeal to young people. I will pass it on.

they have a website too: http://www.molliemakes.com/

Gratuity Moment: that I am way past the stage in my life where I need to try every crafty thing that comes down the road.
