  Crochet BEER CAN Rock Star Party Fez!  Easy 3-in-1 Hat Tutorial - Part 2 Ultimate Beer Can Party Hat Tutorial Yay!! I am rolling along with these new tutorials and having a blast. As I was finishing up the last one, it occurred to me that I was not very clear about something. That is, how do I put this?   The deeper purpose of crocheting beer can hats.   See, I have a vision.  When I started making beer can hats, it was as kind of an art nerd party trick. I was an art student who was really into crochet, like I incorporated it into as many of my art classes as I could.  I was also writing my own hat patterns, and I loved the 70s crafts overall. So when I saw a pic somewhere of the 70s beer can hats, it was a no brainer.  I started taking beers to parties, and when the cans were empty, I'd spend the rest of the party crocheting a fabulous host gift. The reactions I would get were always of wonder and amazement. From art students and old grandmas alike! Non crocheters ar

  Right now it is early spring, but come summer I am ALL about the Salsa. We now have 2 Salsa Houses, solely for growing our tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers of all sorts.      I made a short video of the Houses and canning some salsa:  Salsa Time!        We always said that when we found our dream place, we wanted to learn to grow and preserve food. And that's what we did. Neither of us had gardened at all before we moved here. We started small, and learned along the way. Lots of youtube and google. I'd say 90% of our efforts survived even though we know nothing. Ha! I mean, if we can do it anyone can!    Bride of Salsa House Last year's Veggie Zone expansion (we tripled our beds!) meant much more salsa canning, and also some tomato sauce and juice making. Stu (aka Hubs) even got into making his own fermented hot sauces. Pretty exciting! And the bloody mary's were divine.   Here's a quick video tour of our triple sized veg garden:  Mid Summer *Veggie Zone* Tour

But it worked great!  I made a whole video about it here:     I Used BEER CANS to Make a Wooden Sign - Easy DIY Garden Project Just to be clear, this is not a complete tutorial. Ha. If it was, it would be much more detailed and informative believe me. This was one of my first how-to video attempts, and has many imperfections. Learning!  BUT I will be showing you the basics of how I made my beer can sign. Call it whatever. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Ok! So first thing is to prepare a backing board, I used a piece of plywood which I painted.  Next I figured out how big I wanted my letters to be, and brought up a font on my laptop. When I had them the right size, I traced them onto paper like a light table. Then I cut them out.    I placed them on
