For this weeks Top 10 In Craft, It’s all about making beautiful Pine Cone craft that make for stunning home decor.
Such an incredible creation of nature, they’re everywhere, especially in the spring. But what is their purpose? The species of tree called conifers create them.
They are the reproductive organs of the tree, believe it or not! They’re in charge of creating the seeds, and when the time is right, they open, releasing the seeds.
So many crafts can be done with pine cones. I have two particular favorites of the crafts in this list. The Glittered pine cones are a beautiful and easy craft. More ambitious, and for those who have a bit more time, the pine cone cross stitch is a perfect idea.
But first a little progress report of my own…
On My Needles
I am feeling very neglectful of my knitting lately.
Where I am at the moment in Spain, doesn’t have a yarn store, so I haven’t found any yarn that inspires me.
I just have to live vicariously through the wonderful knitters online for now.
Like this beautiful Tecumseh sweater by designer Caitlin Hunter that Sarah from Knitting Sarah has just finished.
Sarah handspun the yarns she used, aren’t they gorgeous.

This Week’s Top 10 In Craft – Pine Cone Crafts
Relaxation and knitting. This quote, sums it up beautifully…
“Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn’t hurt the untroubled spirit either.”
― Elizabeth Zimmermann
My very first Crafty Like Granny newsletter linked to an article about the health benefits of knitting and a recent study has shown that knitting, crocheting and jam making improves mental health.
Whenever life starts to feel overwhelming, taking time out for some craft may just help.
Here’s some inspiration for you and your crafting journey…
