"Kathy Cano Murillo strikes us as one of those people who, stranded on a desert island with nothing but a volleyball, a deck of playing cards and some coconuts, would not only craft a rescue vehicle and distress signal but whip up a spiffy castaway-themed wardrobe to wear as she did so. And she would be having a great time. And so would you. Visit the Arizona Republic contributor's site to get the craft fever yourself."

Stenciled t-shirts



Low on cash for gifts this year? Here is a nifty way to make something fun and useful. Buy a package of v-neck tees (3 to a bag), you can find them at Target or KMart, many times on sale. I like Hanes because they are nice and comfy and have a lot of quality to them. You can go with white, black or grey. And then you create stencils from your computer and use fabric paint to add a word that describes the person you are giving it to. These make for great gifts or at least as a stocking stuffer. Think of how cute this look would be on a toddler onesie? You could put a phrase like "kid destructo" or something else warmy and fuzzy sounding...

Here are the directions!
