Here is easy access to the tutorials I've published on Just Pure Lovely. Some of these are really more like explanations of my process as I go about creating things, and not really worthy of the title "tutorial," but you may find them useful anyway. Check this page now and then, as I follow my whims, so will add more tutorials quite often, I hope. ~ Lori

I made a little scarf for our 6yo with the simplest of patterns. The scarf, made of 100% variegated blue cotton, has a pretty woven look.
If you have access to a scroll saw, a puzzle can be made quickly, using cardboard, acrylic paints, and the saw! Our 13-year-old designed and created the one in the tutorial.

A Hand-Tied, Hand-Embroidered Quick, Non-Quilted Blanket Project

How to Knit a Hot Pink Boa for Dress Up
Our 10 year old is knitting a hot pink boa for her little sister who adores playing "dress up."

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! I'm at loriseaborg @ gmail.com (moosh all that together). I'd love it if you shared your photos of completed projects with me, and I'd love to see your tutorials, too. Everyone is creative!
