But enough about the weather. 😀 Today, I'd like to share a few crafting tips and tricks I have learned. Hopefully, one of these will help make crafting easier and more fun! Crafting...

Hello Reader! How was your week? Can you believe that half of May is already gone? Are you ready for Summer? I'm bracing for it to be a scorcher here in Texas this year. I was thinking the other day about how I came to the decision to own a website and create crafting content. I would not say that I am talented at creating new crafts. Ideas do not swirl around in my head that beg to be made. I have poor handwriting, and I can't cut a straight line. It's fair to say that stick figures are...

Hey Reader! Wow, what a week it's been! I hope all of you are safe as we experience these catastrophic weather events across the US.

Dear Reader, I hope your week is going well. It's been a busy couple of weeks here at Makers Corner Crafts. Today, we got to see the total eclipse from our backyard here in Northeast Texas. It was cloudy at first, and we were disappointed, but the clouds parted just in time! We took some videos, but I haven't reviewed them, so I don't know if they are good or not. This week, I need your help. To give you the best crafting content on Makers Corner Crafts, I need some information about your...
